Abstract

In our studies of the dynamics and energetics of the solar atmosphere, we have detected, in high-quality observations from Hinode SOT/NFI, ubiquitous small-scale upflows which move horizontally with supersonic velocities in the quiet Sun. We present the properties of these fast moving upflows (FMUs) and discuss different interpretations.
