Description
The solar atmosphere is a dynamically turbulent and magnetically organised environment, where waves and flows are central to energy transport. Among the features shaping this complexity are solar vortices—localised, rotating structures that span multiple spatial and temporal scales. This talk focuses on how vortices influence wave propagation and energy redistribution, particularly in the upper atmosphere, where they may facilitate magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave activity and localised dissipation. Conceptual and methodological challenges in capturing multi-scale, multi-modal wave–plasma interactions in structured magnetic environments will also be discussed.
