Left to right: profiles of swirling strength, mass density, and horizontal velocity for three vortices different rows with border colors corresponding to those of the squares outlining the vortices in Fig. 6 on the solar surface (rows 1–3) and at 1.5 Mm above the surface (rows 4–6). The overplotted arrows represent the horizontal velocity. The longest arrow corresponds to 4 km s⁻¹ and 16 km s⁻¹ in the photosphere and the chromosphere, respectively.
