Temporal variations of the rotation rate in the solar interior
نویسنده
چکیده
The temporal variations of the rotation rate in the solar interior are studied using frequency splittings from Global Oscillations Network Group (GONG) data obtained during the period 1995–99. We find alternating latitudinal bands of faster and slower rotation which appear to move towards the equator with time — similar to the torsional oscillations seen at the solar surface. This flow pattern appears to persist to a depth of about 0.1R⊙ and in this region its magnitude is well correlated with solar activity indices. We do not find any periodic or systematic changes in the rotation rate near the base of the convection zone. Subject headings: Sun: oscillations; Sun: interior; Sun: rotation

Solar Interior Rotation and its Variation
This article surveys the development of observational understanding of the interior rotation of the Sun and its temporal variation over approximately forty years, starting with the 1960s attempts to determine the solar core rotation from oblateness and proceeding through the development of helioseismology to the detailed modern picture of the internal rotation deduced from continuous helioseism...
متن کاملEvaluation of Spatial-Temporal Variations of Incoming Solar Radiation in Kermanshah Province Using "Liu and Jordan" Model
The aim of this study was to provide a reliable estimate of the amount of solar radiation in Kermanshah province by using “Liu and Jordan” model in order to develop solar sites. The amount of atmospheric elimination in each month was calculated using an index called clearness index () and the results were applied on different slopes, aspects and heights. Then, according to the obtained results,...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 1 Temporal variations of solar rotation rate at high latitudes
Frequency splitting coefficients from Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) and Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) observations covering the period 1995–2001 are used to study temporal variations in the solar rotation rate at high latitudes. The torsional oscillation pattern in the Sun is known to penetrate to a depth of about 0.1R⊙ with alternate bands of faster and slower rotating plasma. At lo...
متن کاملImpact of spatial-temporal variations of climatic variables on summer maize yield in North China Plain
Summer maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the dominant crops in the North China Plain (NCP). Its growth is greatly influenced by the spatial-temporal variation of climatic variables, especially solar radiation, temperature and rainfall. The WOFOST (version 7.1) model was applied to evaluate the impact of climatic variability on summer maize yields using historical meteorological data from 1961 to 20...
متن کاملDynamic variations at the base of the solar convection zone
We have detected changes in the rotation of the sun near the base of its convective envelope, including a prominent variation with a period of 1.3 years at low latitudes. Such helioseismic probing of the deep solar interior has been enabled by nearly continuous observation of its oscillation modes with two complementary experiments. Inversion of the global-mode frequency splittings reveals that...
