✦ Synopsis

The trapping of energetic electrons and protons in a simple, arched magnetic field imbedded in the lower solar atmosphere was considered. The lifetime of electrons with kinetic energies up to about 1.5 MeV was found to be completely determined by the motion of the mirror points, provided the gyro-synchrotron loss can be neglected. The same motion also influences the lifetimes of more energetic electrons, up to 10 MeV. This was not found to be the case for protons in the range from 1 MeV to 100 GeV. Some fluid and streaming instabilities were also considered; they pull the particles upward, raise their mirror points, and increase their lifetime. The emission of gyro-synchrotron radiation and bremsstrahlung in this model has been related to observations. Using the duration of non-thermal X-ray peaks given by Kane (1969), the altitude of injection of energetic particles was estimated.

The propagation and dissipation of acoustic waves in the lower solar atmosphere is studied. The level of shock formation is computed for various initial conditions. It is shown that shocks form rather low in the atmosphere and that this result does not depend critically on the assumed initial condit

## Abstract It is suggested that the β€˜coastal lows’ observed off southern Africa are similar in structure to β€˜coastally trapped waves’ in the ocean. Inversion conditions typical of the area prevent escape of energy upwards and Coriolis effects keep energy trapped against the high escarpment which b
