Dynamics of the Deep Solar Photosphere at Subgranular Scales
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2017
Extract
Extending our previous studies of the dynamics of solar granulation (Nesis et al., 1997) we investigated the relationship between granular flow and the emergence of turbulence in the deep photosphere. Our main goal is to explore if such a relationship exists, and if so, to define it quantitatively. To this end we take advantage of the excellent signal approximation property of wavelets. The material for the present work is a series of spectrograms of high spatial resolution covering a time span of 12 min. They were taken at the center of the solar disk with the German Vacuum Tower Telescope in Izaña (Tenerife, Spain) in 1994, and include several absorption lines of different strengths; for more details see Nesis et al. (1997). The spectrograms were digitized and processed with wavelet techniques and regression analysis, in order to investigate the granular convective flow, the associated turbulence, and their mutual connection.
