Large scale photospheric velocity fields are one such probe. This work describes an attempt to measure the long term behavior of global scale fields, with an eye toward understanding the conditions below the surface that largely determine these velocity patterns.

Large-scale velocity fields in the solar photosphere remain a mystery in spite of many years of intensive studies. In this thesis, the new method of the measurements of the solar photospheric flow fields is proposed.

It is based on local correlation tracking algorithm applied to full-disc dopplergrams obtained by Michelson Doppler Images (MDI) on-board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory We argue that numerical simulations could be used in a complementary way to observations in order to study the small-scale structure of photospheric fields.

Further, the average phase speed and density for each region are estimated and used to compute the spectra for energy density and energy ://   The solar corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, consisting of hot, diffuse, and highly ionized plasma. The magnetic field in this region is expected to drive many of its physical properties but has been difficult to measure with observations.

The Fe I Stokes profiles are measured at 40 different The radial flow velocity is only about 3% of the total flow velocity at the lowest wavenumbers, but increases in strength to become about 50% at wavenumbers near The spectrum more» compares well with the spectrum of giant cell flows at the lowest wavenumbers and with the spectrum of granulation from a 3D radiative-hydrodynamic Publisher Summary.

This chapter illustrates the equations and boundary conditions for surface, interface, and internal waves. There are three types of waves considered in the study of fluid mechanics: interface waves, internal waves, and compression and expansion :// Photospheric motions are believed to be the source of coronal heating and of velocity fluctuations detected in the solar corona.

A numerical model, based on the shell technique applied on reduced magnetohydrodynamics equations, is used to represent energy injection due to footpoint motions, storage and dissipation of energy in a coronal :// ON THE PROPERTIES OF SLOW MHD SAUSAGE WAVES WITHIN SMALL-SCALE PHOTOSPHERIC MAGNETIC STRUCTURES N.
