Abstract
We use space-time variations of velocity restored from observations to isolate acoustic waves propagating into upper layers of the atmosphere. At reflection, acoustic ten-minute waves penetrate into the evanescent layers of the photosphere up to the temperature-minimum layers, and five-minute waves reach the layers of the lower chromosphere.
