Abstract

High time resolution ( ≈ 13 s cadence) Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) Grazing Incidence Spectrometer (GIS) time series data is analysed for evidence of quasi-periodic variability in the solar corona. The observations are obtained from a GIS study of a coronal hole boundary region taken in October 1997. A wavelet analysis is applied to EUV emission lines covering a temperature range of $\log T_{\rm e}=$ 5.3–6.1 K. Wavelet analysis allows the frequency and temporal information of any periods present within the data to be analysed. Statistically significant periods are found within the range 100–900 s and 1500 s. Observations of short wavepackets with periods of the order 50–100 s with durations of 2–5 cycles are reported. Observations of a decay in the driving period over time are also described.
