Solar Supergranulation Waves Detected in Surface Doppler Shift

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

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 degrees latitude.
