| Abstract: | One and two-dimensional observations were made at 1.64 μ, the deepest observable level in the solar atmosphere; at 1.72 μ, representing the chromosphere; and at 1.17 μ, representing the visible photosphere. Structures distributed on a supergranular size scale (30000 km) are apparently present at all levels. These structures in the deep photospheric level (1.64 μ) seem to be a 50K–500K temperature decrease over surrounding photosphere confined to the magnetic field elements with horizontal scales less than 4000 km at supergranular boundaries, rather than a general temperature structure over the entire supergranule cell appropriate to convective energy transport. |
