Figure 4: Three-dimensional snapshots of the evolution of Vz showing the development of the initial perturbation in the nonmagnetic equilibrium generated by the 30-second-period driver (in ms-1). The z-axis corresponds to height measured in megameters and the x and y horizontal axes are parallel to the solar surface.

Figure 5: Same as Figure 4 but for the Vx component of the three-dimensional velocity perturbation.

Figure 6: Three-dimensional snapshots of the Vz component of the velocity (in ms-1) showing the development of a wave propagation in the nonmagnetic equilibrium generated by a 300 second period driver.

Figure 7: Same as Figure 6 but for the Vx component of the velocity (in ms-1).

Figure 8

Figure 9

Figure 8: Three-dimensional snapshots of Vz (in ms-1) showing the development of the wave pattern in the stratified equilibrium with uniform magnetic field (B0z=40 gauss). The photospheric driver has a period of 30 seconds.

Figure 9: Same as Figure 8 but for the x - component of the velocity (ie, Vx).
