Collective Vortex Dynamics: From Isolated Vortices to their Communities
Lauren McClure, Suzana Silva, Gary Verth +2
Small-scale vortical motions in the upper solar atmosphere are abundant and occupy about 2.8% of the photosphere at any given time. Although considerable work has focused on the de…

Solar Vortex Detection With Velocity Field Normalisation: Eliminating False Positives
Lauren McClure, Suzana Silva, Gary Verth +2
Small-scale vortices in the solar photosphere play a central role in transporting mass, energy, and momentum into the upper solar atmosphere, yet reliably detecting these structure…
