Recent observational studies of the spatial and temporal relations between impulsive and periodic perturbations (Deubner and Kleineisel, 1997; Espagnet et al., 1996; see also Goode et al., these proceedings) suggest that oscillations in the solar atmosphere are excited locally and stochastically by turbulent convection. Proper characterization of the dynamical processes involved requires careful analysis of the observations in the spatial as well as in the temporal domain. Wavelet transforms (Combes et al., 1984) allow the characterization of waveforms together with the temporal delays that occur between the observed fluctuations. We have employed Morlet wavelets (Daubechies, 1992) in the present analysis. In addition to the phase relation between convective eddies and the atmospheric waves we study in particular the 2-D spatial evolution of the perturbations, to better distinguish different modes of oscillation. The observational material used is the same as in Deubner and Kleineisel (1997).
