| Abstract: |
In recent papers, we have introduced a method for measuring the photospheric flow field that is based on the tracking of supergranular structures. Here, in combination with helioseismic data, we are able to estimate the depth in the solar convection envelope to which the detected large-scale flow field is coherent. We show that the upper 10 Mm in the convection zone depicts similar features in horizontal velocity. Our interpretation of this observation is that the supergranulation is a coherent structure 10 Mm deep and is subject to large-scale transport by the underlying velocity field. |
