| Abstract: |
Over the last years, state-of-the-art ground-based and/or space-based observations using imaging, spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric instruments, at a wide range of wavelengths, reveal that the quiet Sun, just like active regions, is a highly inhomogeneous and dynamic environment that plays an important role in the dynamics of the entire solar atmosphere. This dynamic quiet Sun is manifested through a number of different types of features and phenomena that occur in a large range of spatial and temporal scales and are nowadays believed to be mostly driven by the local magnetic field and its dynamics. Ground-based observations processed with state-of-the-art, post-processing reconstruction techniques, often combined with simultaneous space-based observations from a variety of instruments on different spacecraft, offer a unique opportunity to investigate and understand the physical conditions of the local plasma, the nature, formation mechanisms and evolution of quiet Sun phenomena and possible interrelationships between quiet Sun phenomena occurring at different heights of the quiet Sun solar atmosphere, from the photosphere and chromosphere to the transition region and low corona. We provide a comprehensive review of our latest understanding of quiet Sun and its dynamics as viewed from the ground and from space and discuss the advantages/disadvantages of ground- and space-based observations and future advents in solar observations with new solar instruments. |
