Deeply Penetrating Banded Zonal Flows in the Solar Convection Zone.
Helioseismic observations have detected small temporal variations of the rotation rate below the solar surface that correspond to the so-called "torsional oscillations" known from Doppler measurements of the surface. These appear as bands of slower- and faster-than-average rotation moving equatorward. Here we establish, using complementary helioseismic observations over 4 yr from the GONG netwo...
متن کاملLinear dynamics of the solar convection zone: excitation of waves in unstably stratified shear flows
In this paper we report on the nonresonant conversion of convectively unstable linear gravity modes into acoustic oscillation modes in shear flows. The convectively unstable linear gravity modes can excite acoustic modes with similar wave-numbers. The frequencies of the excited oscillations may be qualitatively higher than the temporal variation scales of the source flow, while the frequency sp...
متن کاملZonal flows in a mean-field solar dynamo model
Cyclic variations are observed in the solar differential rotation profile. The 11 year periodicity of these zonal shear flows (often referred to as “torsional oscillations”) is consistent with the idea that they are driven by the Lorentz forces that are associated with the large-scale solar dynamo. This suggests that these flows may be able to provide indirect observational evidence that can be...
متن کاملWave modulation and wave sources in the solar convection zone
We investigate the behavior of upward running sound waves in the lower photosphere by means of a 2-hour time series of FPI-filtergrams and a corresponding series of whitelight images. From the FPI-filtergrams we obtain velocities in two heights in the solar photosphere. Using specific filters in the kh-ν-space, we extract running sound waves from the velocity time series and the granulation fro...
متن کاملOn MHD fluxes in the solar convection zone
We have estimated MHD fluxes in the solar convection zone using the best available data on turbulent (convective) velocities in combination with the formulation of Stein (1981) and suitable efficiency factors. The estimated MHD fluxes compare well with the total solar flux.
