Turbulence in the Solar Photosphere
نویسنده
چکیده
The precise nature of photospheric flows, and of the transport effects they give rise to, has been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. Here we attempt to give a brief review of the subject emphasizing interdisciplinary (solar physics—turbulence theory) aspects, key open questions, and recent developments.

Alfvén Waves and Turbulence in the Solar Atmosphere and Solar Wind
We solve the problem of propagation and dissipation of Alfvénic turbulence in a model solar atmosphere consisting of a static photosphere and chromosphere, transition region, and open corona and solar wind, using a phenomenological model for the turbulent dissipation based on wave reflection. We show that most of the dissipation for a given wave-frequency spectrum occurs in the lower corona, an...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Solar Photospheric Turbulence: Granular Velocity Shear
We trace the Doppler velocity and turbulent velocity elds at diierent heights in the solar overshoot layers using absorption lines of diierent strengths in spec-trograms taken at the center of the solar disk. We show the results for one regular and one exploding granule as two representative examples. The convec-tive velocity patterns do not change with the height up to 200km above 5000 = 1, ne...
متن کاملThe Solar Intergranular Space : Time and
We investigate the turbulent velocity eld and its interaction with the granular ow as a function of height in the photosphere and over one turnover time of the granule. We are using a series of spectrograms which includes absorption lines of diierent strengths. The spectrograms were taken at the center of the solar disk with the German Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT) in Iza~ na (Tenerife, Spain) i...
متن کاملTheories of convection and the spectrum of turbulence in the solar photosphere
Classical theories of turbulence do not describe accurately inertial range scaling laws in turbulent convection and notably fail to model the shape of the turbulent spectrum of solar photospheric convection. To understand these discrepancies, a detailed study of scale-by-scale budgets in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is presented, with particular emphasis placed on anisotropy and inhomog...
متن کاملPreparation of a Dual Wavelength Sequence of High-resolution Solar Photospheric Images Using Phase Diversity
The collection, seeing compensation, and temporal Ðltering of a high-resolution time-sequence of solar photospheric images is described. A 70 minute time series of cospatial and cotemporal G band 4305 Ó and wideband 4686 Ðltergrams was obtained with the 50 cm Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope on the Ó island of La Palma, Spain. The 29A ] 70A Ðeld-of-view near disk center contains both an enhanced ...
