摘要
Simple convection models estimate the depth of supergranulation at approximately 7500 km which suggests that supergranules would rotate at the rate of the plasma in the outer 1% of the solar radius. The supergranulation rotation obtained from MDI dopplergrams shows that supergranules rotate faster than the outer 5% of the convection zone and show zonal flows matching results from inversions of f-mode splittings. Additionally, the rotation rate depends on the size scale of the features.
