CHROMOSPHERE A thin layer of relatively transparent gases above the photosphere of the sun. It is observed best during a total eclipse of the sun.
Chromosphere Portion of the sun above the photosphere; consists of transparent ionized hydrogen and helium at 4000 to 40,000 ·C.
FibrilIn solar-terrestrial terms, a linear pattern in the H-alpha chromosphere of the sun, as seen through an H-alpha filter, occurring near strong sunspots and plage or in filament channels.
ChromosphereIn solar-terrestrial terms, the layer of the solar atmosphere above the photosphere and beneath the transition region and the corona.
The flare presumably results from the impact on the chromosphere of infalling filament material.
flare"A bright, transient event within the sun's chromosphere and corona. Flares produce enhanced emission at radio frequencies and in the ultraviolet and x-ray spectral regions as well.
network - System of small and mottled areas of enhanced brightness in the solar chromosphere. Their size varies from 5 to 20 arc-seconds.
A broad pattern of fibrils in the chromosphere, marking where a filament may soon form or where a filament recently disappeared.

Bright eruption from the Sun's chromosphere.
Special Marine Warning
A warning for hazardous weather conditions, usually short and not adequately covered by existing marine warnings.
