I analyse the maps recording the travel-time shifts caused by averaged plasma anomalies under an "average supergranule", constructed by means of statistical averaging over 5582 individual supergranules with large divergence signals detected…
Supergranules are divergent 30-Mm sized cellular flows observed everywhere at the solar photosphere. Their place in the hierarchy of convective structures and their origin remain poorly understood (Rincon et al., 2018). Estimating…
Observations of the solar surface reveal the presence of flows with length scales of around $35$ Mm, commonly referred to as supergranules. Inferring the sub-surface flow profile of supergranules from measurements of the surface and…
We develop a helioseismic inversion algorithm that can be used to recover sub-surface vertical profiles of 2-dimensional supergranular flows from surface measurements of synthetic wave travel times. We carry out seismic wave-propagation…
The consistency of time--distance inversions for horizontal components of the plasma flow on supergranular scales in the upper solar convection zone is checked by comparing the results derived using two k--\omega filtering procedures --…
The subsurface structure of an "average" supergranule is derived from existing HMI pipeline time-distance data products and compared to the best helioseismic flow model detailed in Duvall and Hanasoge (2013). We find that significant…
Results of forward modelling of acoustic wave propagation in a realistic solar sub-photosphere with two cases of steady horizontal flows are presented and analysed by the means of local helioseismology. The simulations are based on fully…
As large--distance rays (say, 10\,-\,$24 ^\circ$) approach the solar surface approximately vertically, travel times measured from surface pairs for these large separations are mostly sensitive to vertical flows, at least for shallow flows…
Aims. Recent studies showed that time--distance inversions for flows start to be dominated by a random noise at a depth of only a few Mm. It was proposed that the ensemble averaging might be a solution to learn about the structure of the…
Time-distance helioseismology is the method of the study of the propagation of waves through the solar interior via the travel times of those waves. The travel times of wave packets contain information about the conditions in the interior…
Supergranules are believed to be an evidence for large-scale subsurface convection. The vertical component of the supergranular flow field is very hard to measure, but it is considered only a few m/s in and below the photosphere. Here I…
Supergranules are convection cells seen at the Sun's surface as a space filling pattern of horizontal flows. While typical supergranules have diameters of about 35 Mm, they exhibit a broad spectrum of sizes from ~10 Mm to ~100 Mm. Here we…
The study of solar oscillations (helioseismology) has been a very successful method of researching the Sun. Helioseismology teaches us about the structure and mean properties of the Sun. Together with mid-resolution data, the local…
Supergranulation is one of the most visible length scales of solar convection and has been studied extensively by local helioseismology. We use synthetic data computed with the Seismic Propagation through Active Regions and Convection…
Recently, Duvall and Hanasoge ({\it Solar Phys.} {\bf 287}, 71-83, 2013) found that large distance $[\Delta]$ separation travel-time differences from a center to an annulus $[\delta t_{\rm{oi}}]$ implied a model of the average supergranular…
According to time-distance helioseismology, information about internal fluid motions is encoded in the travel times of solar waves. The inverse problem consists of inferring 3-D vector flows from a set of travel-time measurements. Here we…
To recover the flow information encoded in travel-time data of time-distance helioseismology, accurate forward modeling and a robust inversion of the travel times are required. We accomplish this using three-dimensional finite-frequency…
Solar supergranulation presents us with many mysteries. For example, previous studies in spectral space found that supergranulation has wave-like properties. Here we study, in real space, the wave-like evolution of the average supergranule…
We show that the motions of supergranules are consistent with a model in which they are simply advected by the axisymmetric flows in the Sun's surface shear layer. We produce a 10-day series of simulated Doppler images at a 15-minute…
Flow vorticity is a fundamental property of turbulent convection in rotating systems. Solar supergranules exhibit a preferred sense of rotation, which depends on the hemisphere. This is due to the Coriolis force acting on the diverging…
