Temporal evolution of the temperature (top panels) and line-of-sight velocity (bottom panels) at log τ = −5, −3, and, −1. Panels a, b, d, and e illustrate the results from our inversions of the Ca II 8542 Å line, whereas panels c and f are taken from the inversion of the Fe I 6301.5 and 6302.5 Å lines. r = 0 corresponds to the outer-most point from the sunspot in the red cut marked in Fig. 1.
