The University of Colorado instrument on OSO 8 has been used to observe relative phases of the 300 s intensity variation between the temperature-minimum region and several emission lines formed in the solar chromosphere and chromosphere-corona transition region. The lines used are due to Fe II, Si II, C II show almost identical delays of approximately 30 s relative to the temperature minimum, while the intensity oscillations of the lines of Si IV and C IV appear to lead the temperture-minimum intensity oscillations by about 10 s.
