再访太阳速跃层:平均特性和时间变化

Revisiting the solar tachocline: Average properties and temporal variations

H. M. Antia, Sarbani Basu

摘要:

速跃层被认为是太阳发电机运行的区域。利用MDI和GONG仪器提供的超过一个太阳周期的数据,我们不仅能够研究太阳速跃层的平均结构,而且还能够研究其时间变化。我们确定的速度跃层的属性作为时间的函数,通过拟合一个二维模型,考虑到纬度变化的速度跃层属性。我们确认,如果我们考虑速度跃层的中心位置,它是长的。我们的研究结果表明,在高纬度地区的速度跃层比赤道厚,使速度跃层的整体形状更加复杂。的速跃层的属性检查,整个速跃层的旋转速率的过渡,并在一定程度上的速跃层的位置,显示出一些时间上的变化。

英文摘要:

The tachocline is believed to be the region where the solar dynamo operates. With over a solar cycle's worth of data available from the MDI and GONG instruments, we are in a position to investigate not merely the average structure of the solar tachocline, but also its time variations. We determine the properties of the tachocline as a function of time by fitting a two-dimensional model that takes latitudinal variations of the tachocline properties into account. We confirm that if we consider central position of the tachocline, it is prolate. Our results show that the tachocline is thicker at higher latitudes than the equator, making the overall shape of the tachocline more complex. Of the tachocline properties examined, the transition of the rotation rate across the tachocline, and to some extent the position of the tachocline, show some temporal variations.
