Supergranulation Waves Detected in Surface Doppler Shift
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently Gizon, Duvall, and Schou (2002) suggested that supergranulation has a wave-like component. In this paper I show that the same phenomenon can be observed using surface Doppler shift data, thereby confirming their observations. I am also able to measure the dispersion relation to lower wavenumbers and to extend the results for rotation and meridional flows beyond ±70 • latitude.

Local helioseismology and correlation tracking analysis of surface structures in realistic simulations of solar convection
We apply time-distance helioseismology, local correlation tracking and Fourier spatial-temporal filtering methods to realistic supergranule scale simulations of solar convection and compare the results with high-resolution observations from the SOHO Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI). Our objective is to investigate the surface and sub-surface convective structures and test helioseismic measurement...
متن کاملOceanic Variables extracted from Along-Track Interferometric SAR Data
The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data are considered to contain the greatest amount of information among various microwave techniques developed for measuring ocean variables from aircraft or satellites. They have the potential of measuring wavelength, wave direction and wave height of the ocean waves. But, it is difficult to retrieve significant ocean wave heights and surface current from con...
متن کاملHinode/EIS observations of propagating low-frequency slow magnetoacoustic waves in fan-like coronal loops
Aims. We report the first observation of multiple-periodic propagating disturbances along a fan-like coronal structure simultaneously detected in both intensity and Doppler shift in the Fe xii 195 Å line with the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) onboard Hinode. A new application of coronal seismology is provided based on this observation. Methods. We analyzed the EIS sit-and-stare mode observatio...
متن کاملMicrowave Doppler Spectra of Sea Echoes at High Incidence Angles: Influences of Large- Scale Waves
Within the framework of the composite surface scattering model, analytical formulas for Doppler shift and bandwidth of radar echoes backscattered from time-varying sea surface are derived in the forms of three-dimensional integrals. In our derivations, the influences of the tilt modulation (TM), the hydrodynamic modulation (HM), the shadow and the curvature of large-scale undulating waves are a...
متن کاملPropagating Slow Magnetoacoustic Waves in Coronal Loops Observed by Hinode/eis
We present the first Hinode/EIS observations of 5 min quasi-periodic oscillations detected in a transition-region line (He II) and five coronal lines (Fe X, Fe XII, Fe XIII, Fe XIV, and Fe XV) at the footpoint of a coronal loop. The oscillations exist throughout the whole observation, characterized by a series of wave packets with nearly constant period, typically persisting for 4-6 cycles with...
