Helioseismic Probes of the Surface Convective Boundary Layer

Lead Investigator: A.G. Kosovichev

Other Team Members:} T.L. Duvall, P. Giles, K. Murawski, B. Roberts

Abstract/Technical Summary:

Measure mean properties (such as sound speed, turbulent pressure, parameter of convective stability) of the convective boundary layer by analysing high-degree p and f modes and 3D tomographic maps from MDI High-resolution data; study interaction between oscillations and random flows.
