The association between the different scales of convection on the solar photosphere and the field strengths/flux content of discrete magnetic flux concentrations is analyzed using simultaneously recorded SOHO/MDI high resolution filtergrams and magnetograms. The convective flow field is derived using the Local Correlation Tracking (LCT) technique. The locations and strengths of the flux elements with respect to the flow cells are analyzed to obtain information about different scales of convection.
