利用时间距离深聚焦法研究太阳对流的时变特性
摘要
我们重新审视了此前用于估算约30 Mm深度处太阳对流功率谱的时间距离日震学深聚焦方法,该方法发现对流功率显著弱于理论和模拟的预测。Global Acoustic, Linearized Euler(GALE)和Eulerian Lagrangian(EULAG)代码被用于生成真实模拟以评估推断出的对流功率谱的准确性。该验证过程表明,使用时间距离方法推导出的功率谱在对应于球谐度ℓ=15–30的空间尺度之外与真实值存在显著偏离,这是由于该深度处日震测量分辨率有限所致。然而,在更大空间尺度(ℓ<15)处估算的功率具有足够的准确性。随后,我们将该方法应用于整个第24太阳活动周选取的太阳数据,发现对流功率的幅值在整个活动周中有所变化的证据。对整个太阳活动周的对流功率取平均后得到的功率谱与先前估计在定性上相似,但大约大半个量级。观测到的太阳对流与模拟预测的幅值之间的不一致仍然存在。

备注
This manuscript replaces the previous version and newly implements the common convention for the convective power. Using this convention, we find the power spectrum qualitatively agrees with the previous result, whereas the previous version of the manuscript erroneously stated convective power several orders of magnitude higher due to different power conventions
