Solar magnetic loop structures can exist in a broad range of spatio‐temporal scales and their mutual interactions are described by nonlinear processes of magnetic reconnection triggered as a secondary regime by a primary MHD instability. From the application of wavelet analysis on decimetric time series as a counterpart of spatio‐temporal flare loop observations we derive, using Tajima’s model for quasi‐periodic MHD coalescence, possible ranges of minimum Sagdeev potential. From this parameter we obtain the Alfven period of nonlinear oscillation for a typical mutual solar loop interaction observed by SOHO and TRACE.
