THREE BIG QUESTIONS IN SOLAR PHYSICS
1) What causes solar flares, prominence eruptions, and CMEs?
2) What causes the 11-year cycle ofSunspots and solar activity?
3) How is the corona heated and thesolar wind accelerated?

Data Simulation - ContinuedThe resulting Doppler velocity signal is convolved with a point-spread-function representing the MDI optical system in Full Disk mode to simulate MDI Doppler velocity data.
The final Doppler image is analyzed using the same processes used on the MDI data and results are compared to determine the complex spectral coefficients and their dependence upon ℓ and time.

Photospheric Convection Spectrum Conclusions
•There is a continuous spectrum of convective flows from giant cells to granules
•There are only two distinct modes of convection in the photosphere – granulation and supergranulation

Radial Flow Study Conclusions
•Radial flow is ~10% of the horizontal flow for supergranules (increases to ~15% for cells 4000 km across)
•Doppler velocities under-estimate the horizontal flow speed by ~1.4
![Page 35: Characterizing Photospheric Flows David Hathaway (NASA/MSFC) with John Beck & Rick Bogart (Stanford/CSSA) Kurt Bachmann, Gaurav Khatri, & Joshua Petitto](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56649e405503460f94b31601/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Toroidal Flow Study
TangentialRadial
Solenoidal flows have strong radial gradients and weak tangential gradients.
Toroidal flows have weak radial gradients and strong tangential gradients.
Foreshortening near the limb weakens the radial gradients more than the tangential gradients.
Solenoidal and toroidal flows will have different center-to-limb behavior.

Toroidal Flow Study Conclusions
•Toroidal flow ~30% of the horizontal flow is consistent with data (but effects of MTF must be determined)
•Phase relationship between Solenoidal and Toroidal components needs to be determined
![Page 39: Characterizing Photospheric Flows David Hathaway (NASA/MSFC) with John Beck & Rick Bogart (Stanford/CSSA) Kurt Bachmann, Gaurav Khatri, & Joshua Petitto](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56649e405503460f94b31601/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Angular Momentum Transport
•Axisymmetric flow (the meridional circulation) transports angular momentum toward the poles
•Non-axisymmetric flows (cellular flows) can transport angular momentum toward the equator if prograde velocities (u') are correlated with equatorward velocities (v')

A Doppler Velocity Indicator ofAngular Momentum Transport
Gilman (A&A 1977) showed that the mean squared Doppler velocity signal should be stronger east of the central meridian for an equatorward transport of angular momentum.
Coriolis force on flows in north-south cells gives equatorward transport and stronger Doppler signal east of the CM.
Coriolis force on flows in east-west cells gives poleward transport and stronger Doppler signal west of the CM..

Angular Momentum Study Conclusions
•Angular momentum is transported toward the poles in supergranules (instrumental problems – focus variations across disk and astigmatism – may severely impact this result)

Rotation Rate Study Conclusions
•Large cells appear to rotate more rapidly than small cells
•Larger lags between images give larger rotation rates
•Both effects are reproduced in the data simulation with a rotation rate that does not vary with time or wavenumber

Lifetime Study (in progress)
As the time lag between images increases the correlation coefficient decreases.

Lifetime Study Approach
We include random changes in the phase of the complex spectral coefficients and add random noise to the image data

Lifetime Study Conclusions
•Large cells live longer than small cells (duh!)
•Lifetimes can be quantified using the data simulation

Conclusion
• Data simulations and forward modeling can be extremely valuable in interpreting observations
