Vertical slice through the simulation taken in the xz plane at y = 6 Mm. Panel a) Temperature; b) Vertical velocity; c) Vertical magnetic field; and d) Plasma density. We used an arcsinh norm for the magnetic field, and limit all panels to highlight the chromosphere. The horizontal dashed lines represent the photosphere τ₅₀₀ = 0 and base of the chromosphere z = 0.8 Mm. Animation available online; the image represents t = 0 of the animation.
