Decomposition of phenomenological steps of RR Lyrae atmospheric dynamics during a typical pulsation cycle (see Sect. 3).

Step φ interval Phenomenon
   
1 0.874–0.892 Emergence of the main shock
2 0.892–0.929 Radiative shock wave phase
3 0.320 Maximum expansion of the sodium layer
4 0.455 Maximum expansion of the Hα layer
5 0.320–0.455 A two-step infalling motion
6 around 0.36 A strong phostospheric compression
