1.2.1.7 Detect and characterise waves in closed and open structures (e.g. De Pontieu et al., 2007), looking for signatures of their dissipation in the transition region and low corona, with a corresponding evaluation of the energy released to heat the solar plasma.
Targets: AR (also closed loops in QS?), on-disk and also off-limb (for spicules).
Maybe divide this objective per target?
Operational requirements table: This table will be filled before the SAP meeting (16-17 November), please come back later!
