What is solar meridional circulation?
Solar meridional circulation is an axisymmetric flow system, extending from the equator to the poles (\ (\sim \) 20 m/s at the surface, \ (\approx \) 1% of the mean solar rotation rate), plunging inwards and subsequently completing the circuit in the interior through an equatorward return flow and a radially outward flow back up to the surface.
How does helioseismology study the solar interior?
Helioseismology (Christensen-Dalsgaard ; Gizon and Birch ) is the only means by which to study the solar interior. Acoustic oscillations, excited by vigorous turbulent convection in the near-surface layers, propagate within the solar interior, setting up resonances at discrete frequencies and wavenumbers.
Is solar thermal convection a stationary process?
Solar thermal convection is a statistically stationary process, although the magnetic cycle is capable of modulating it, especially in the surface layers.
What is the progression of a solar cycle?
The cycle has a very well defined progression, with sunspots erupting at latitudes of around \ (30^\circ \) at the start of the cycle (immediately following the preceding minimum), and emerging at lower latitudes with the evolution of the cycle. By the end the cycle, new field appears very close to the equator. 5.
Why is solar rotation more important than MC?
Because rotation is of a much higher magnitude than MC, errors in the determination the solar rotation axis (Beck and Giles ) can cause rotation to add to the weak MC signals. Thus, it is important that the observed image is not rotated in the plane of the camera with respect to the rotation axis.
Why is MC important in a solar cycle?
In recent decades, the timescale associated with the transport of magnetic flux by MC has been identified as crucial to the solar-cycle period. In particular, the flow speed and direction in the deep-interior layers is extremely important to the overall behaviour of solar magnetism.
