SOHO-MDI Investigates Solar Flows Under Sunspots
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
SOHO-MDI performs a sonogram of the sun, revealing the subsurface temperature profile around a sunspot. Red isosurfaces denote regions where the sound speed (and temperature) are higher than average while blue isosurfaces directly under the spot illustrate where the sound speed (and temperature) are lower than average.
