Abstract

Research suggests that giant convective cells are found at the sun's surface. Calculations show that long-lived velocity cells cover 29% of the sun's radius and may be involved in the geophysical process leading to sunspots. Their uneven distribution may be affected by differential solar rotation. Previous attempts to detect the giant cells have failed due to Doppler shift effects.
