The height dependence of temperature - velocity correlation in the solar photosphere

We derive correlation coefficients between temperature and line-of-sight velocity as a function of optical depth throughout the solar photosphere for the non-magnetic photosphere and a small area of enhanced magnetic activity. The maximum anticorrelation of about -0.6 between temperature and line-of-sight velocity in the non-magnetic photosphere occurs at log tau5 = -0.4. The magnetic field is another decorrelating factor along with 5-min oscillations and seeing.
