Abstract
We summarize studies of the spatial and temporal behavior of the physical parameters of the chromospheric fine structures called mottles (or disk spicules), using high spatial resolution observations obtained with the MSDP at Pic du Midi. The predominant pattern of bulk motion in the dark mottles is composed of repetitive ascending/descending phases during the mottle lifetime. This behavior suggests a siphon mechanism as proposed by Pikel’ner (1969). Cloud models and NLTE models are used to diagnose physical properties.
