The observation of global acoustic waves (p modes) in the Sun has been key to unveiling its internal structure and dynamics. A different kind of wave, known as sectoral Rossby modes, have been observed and identified, which potentially…

Retrograde Rossby waves, measured to have significant amplitudes in the Sun, likely have notable implications for various solar phenomena. Rossby waves create small-amplitude, very-low frequency motions (on the order of the rotation rate…

Inertial wave modes in the Sun are of interest owing to their potential to reveal new insight into the solar interior. These predominantly retrograde-propagating modes in the solar subsurface appear to deviate from the thin-shell…

Global-scale Rossby waves have recently been unambiguously identified on the Sun. Here we study the latitude and depth dependence of the Rossby wave eigenfunctions. By applying helioseismic ring-diagram analysis and granulation tracking to…

Recent observations of Rossby waves and other more exotic forms of inertial oscillations in the Sun's convection zone have kindled the hope that such waves might be used as a seismic probe of the Sun's interior. Here we present a 3D…

Solar inertial modes are believed to play important diagnostic and dynamical roles in the Sun's differentially rotating convection zone. However, the coupling of these modes to the radiative interior has not yet been discussed. We aim to…

We study the temporal evolution of solar inertial modes over the solar cycle using observations from GONG and SDO/HMI. We focus on the high-latitude mode with azimuthal wavenumber $m=1$ and the equatorial Rossby modes with $3 \le m \le 16$.…

Context. Solar Rossby waves (r modes) have recently been discovered in the near-surface horizontal flow field using the techniques of granulation-tracking and ring-diagram analysis applied to six years of SDO/HMI data. Aims. Here we apply…

The oscillations of a slowly rotating star have long been classified into spheroidal and toroidal modes. The spheroidal modes include the well-known 5-min acoustic modes used in helioseismology. Here we report observations of the Sun's…

Rossby waves play a fundamental role in angular momentum processes in rotating fluids. In addition to the potential to shed light on physical mechanisms operating in the solar convection zone, the recent detection of Rossby waves in the Sun…

Solar internal rotation at high latitudes is poorly constrained by acoustic-mode helioseismology. Global inertial modes observed on the Sun are highly sensitive to solar differential rotation and may provide new diagnostics of rotation in…

Inertial modes have been observed on the Sun at low longitudinal wavenumbers. These modes probe the dynamics and structure of the solar convection zone down to the tachocline. While linear analysis allows the complex eigenfrequencies and…

On the one hand, several types of global-scale inertial modes of oscillation have been observed on the Sun. They include the equatorial Rossby modes, critical-latitude modes, and high-latitude modes. On the other hand, the columnar…

Context: Solar sectoral Rossby waves have only recently been unambiguously identified in Helioseimsic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) and Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) maps of flows near the solar surface. So far this has not been done with the…

Inertial modes have been recently detected in the Sun via helioseismology, yet their origin, evolution, and role in the dynamics of the solar plasma and magnetic field remain poorly understood. In this study, we employ global numerical…

Rossby waves play an important role in mediating the angular momentum of rotating spherical fluids, creating weather on Earth and tuning exoplanet orbits in distant stellar systems (Ogilvie 2014). Their recent discovery in the solar…

Here we present a detailed analysis of solar acoustic mode frequencies and their rotational splittings for modes with degree up to 900. They were obtained by applying spherical harmonic decomposition to full-disk solar images observed by…

In this dissertation, several components of large-scale solar flows are studied observationally: solar equatorial Rossby waves (waves of radial vorticity), large-scale convection, and surface flows around active regions. Maps of horizontal…

Today's picture of the internal solar rotation rate profile results essentially from helioseismic analyses of frequency splittings of resonant acoustic waves. Here we present another, complementary estimation of the internal solar rotation…

Helioseismic observations have provided valuable datasets with which to pursue the detailed investigation of solar interior dynamics. Among various methods to analyse these data, normal-mode coupling has proven to be a powerful tool, used…
