Description

Within the last decade, solar physics has moved into a golden era of discovery. A diverse assortment of ground- and space-based facilities have helped make rapid progress in the detection, identification, characterisation and understanding of dynamic oscillatory motions spanning the entire solar atmosphere. Combined modelling efforts have resulted in a number of outstanding science questions that can only be addressed with more advanced instrumentation and/or larger aperture telescopes. Here, I will outline some of the recent discoveries linked to observations of wave activity in the solar atmosphere that have only been made possible using high-resolution instrumentation. I will bridge these newfound results into overarching science questions in solar physics, before highlighting how current facilities and next-generation instruments can shine light on these challenging problems.

Sessions Wave generation, energy transport, dissipation and heating
