Photospheric Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices observed by DKIST contain sufficient shear energy to potentially supply quiet-Sun coronal heating, provided 5 to 8 percent of that energy is converted to reconnecting magnetic fields and transported upward.

Photospheric Kelvin--Helmholtz Vortices as Possible Drivers of Coronal Heating: Implications of the DKIST Observations
Photospheric Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices observed by DKIST contain sufficient shear energy to potentially supply quiet-Sun coronal heating, provided 5 to 8 percent of that energy is converted to reconnecting magnetic fields and transported upward.
