A remarkable compression of the very complicated
Wedemeyer
cartoon into the purest of black-and-white 2D elegance.
Note also the Dowdy predecessor.
Here the author is distinguishing different morphological features
of the solar chromosphere - spicules, moss, straws, mottles, Wilson
depressions etc., etc., all of which constitute the notorious
magnetic carpet spawned by
magnetoconvection in the photosphere.
The emphasis in this cartoon's description (see the paper for
interpreting the labels) is in terms of physical properties and
their diagnosis via radiative transfer theory.
