Spatial and temporal mapping of horizontal velocity flows

Team Members: Irene González Hernández, Frank Hill, & Deborah Haber

Abstract:
Ring diagrams analysis techniques will be applied to MDI-SOI images in order to obtain a whole map of horizontal velocity flows at 360 degrees of longitude and up to +/-50 or +/-70 degrees in latitude. At the same time a single or several subraster of the solar surface will be tracked over several solar rotations to study the temporal evolution of the velocity flows.
