INTRODUCTION
The chromosphere is a very important region of the solar atmosphere, with an extension of several thousand kilometers, located between the relatively cool surface layers of the photosphere and the overlying hot corona (13). Although the temperature of the chromospheric plasma does not exceed 104 K, the fact that its density is much larger than that of the extended and rarified corona implies that much more mechanical energy is required to sustain the chromosphere than the million-degree…
