通过近地面剪切层的快速对流的日震成像

Helioseismic Imaging of Fast Convective Flows Throughout the Near-Surface Shear Layer

Benjamin J. Greer, Bradley W. Hindman, Nicholas A. Featherstone, Juri Toomre

摘要:

使用一个新的环图日震学的实施,我们确定整个近地表剪切层的对流的强度和空间尺度。我们的环形图技术采用高度重叠的分析区域和一种有效的三维反演方法来测量对流运动,其分辨率范围从表面的$3 \ \mathrm{Mm}$到底层的$80 \ \mathrm{Mm}$。我们发现均方根水平流速在光球层的$427 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}$处达到峰值,并在$20 \ \mathrm{Mm}$和$30 \ \mathrm{Mm}$之间下降到最小值$124 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}$。从速度振幅和占主导地位的水平尺度看到在每个深度,我们推断对流的旋转影响的水平是低的表面附近,但过渡到一个显着的水平在近地表剪切层的底部与Rossby数之间变化2.2低至0.1。

英文摘要:

Using a new implementation of ring-diagram helioseismology, we ascertain the strength and spatial scale of convective flows throughout the near-surface shear layer. Our ring-diagram technique employs highly overlapped analysis regions and an efficient method of 3D inversion to measure convective motions with a resolution that ranges from $3 \ \mathrm{Mm}$ at the surface to $80 \ \mathrm{Mm}$ at the base of the layer. We find the rms horizontal flow speed to peak at $427 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}$ at the photosphere and fall to a minimum of $124 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}$ between $20 \ \mathrm{Mm}$ and $30 \ \mathrm{Mm}$. From the velocity amplitude and the dominant horizontal scales seen at each depth, we infer the level of rotational influence on convection to be low near the surface, but transition to a significant level at the base of the near-surface shear layer with a Rossby number varying between 2.2 to as low as 0.1.
