Close-up view of the downflow patches in the penumbra: a) a map of continuum intensities, b) total circular polarization (TCP), c) Stokes V signals at +280 mÅ from the line center of the 6301.5 Å line, d) magnetic field inclination angles from the local normal, and e) LOS velocities derived by the SIR inversion, where positive (negative) velocities represent motion away from (toward) the observer. The inclination angles and the velocities are averaged ones in optical depths from log (τ_c) = −0.3 to log (τ_c) = −0.5. P1 and P2 in panels c)–e) indicate pixels where the Stokes V profiles shown in Fig. 6a were observed. The contours on each panel represent V/I_cq = −0.015 at +280 mÅ from 6301.5 Å.
