Description
Magneto-acoustic and Alfvénic waves are ubiquitous in solar
coronal loops, possibly being excited by photospheric motions. It is not
clear, though, how these waves get so high, having obstacles such as the
acoustic cut-off frequency, reflection and refraction of fast MHD waves
and also the strongly reflecting transition region. In this contribution
we report on 2D numerical modelling of waves in magnetic arcade
structures extending from photospheric layers through the transition
region to the corona. Waves in the arcade are excited by
sub-photospheric p-modes. We discuss the behaviour of waves, their
conversion and propagation properties and possible mechanisms allowing
their escape through the transition region.
