Photospheric motions are immediately transferred into the chromosphere and corona

Magnetic and velocity fluctuations were analyzed in the photosphere inside two coronal holes

Correlation Function of u2 :

Correlation function allows to estimate a characteristic length λof energy containing structures, which defines directly the heating rate:

Correlation Function:

Correlation function allows to estimate a characteristic length by different ways:

1.To determine the Batchelor integral scale:

2. From an exponential fit

to calculate the correlation length ζ

3. To calculate the e-folding scale L of the correlation function.
