Effects of density stratification on Rossby waves in deep atmospheres

Catherine C. Blume, Bradley W. Hindman

Though Rossby waves have been observed on the Sun, their radial eigenfunctions remain a mystery. The prior theoretical work either considers quasi-2D systems, which do not apply to…

Inertial Waves in a Nonlinear Simulation of the Sun's Convection Zone and Radiative Interior

Catherine C. Blume, Bradley W. Hindman, Loren I. Matilsky

Recent observations of Rossby waves and other more exotic forms of inertial oscillations in the Sun's convection zone have kindled the hope that such waves might be used as a seism…

Confinement of the Solar Tachocline by a Non-Axisymmetric Dynamo

Loren I. Matilsky, Nicholas H. Brummell, Bradley W. Hindman +1

We recently presented the first 3D numerical simulation of the solar interior for which tachocline confinement was achieved by a dynamo-generated magnetic field. In this followup s…

Latitudinal Propagation of Thermal Rossby Waves in Stellar Convection Zones

Rekha Jain, Bradley W. Hindman

Using an analytic model, we derive the eigenfrequencies for thermal Rossby waves that are trapped radially and latitudinally in an isentropically stratified atmosphere. We ignore t…

Assessing the Observability of Deep Meridional Flow Cells in the Solar Interior

J. R. Fuentes, Bradley W. Hindman, Junwei Zhao +6

Meridional circulation regulates the Sun's interior dynamics and magnetism. While it is well accepted that meridional flows are poleward at the Sun's surface, helioseismic observat…

The Puzzling Structure of Solar Convection: Window into the Dynamo

Nicholas A. Featherstone, Kyle C. Augustson, Jonathan M. Aurnou +25

The operation of the solar dynamo, with all of its remarkable spatio-temporal ordering, remains an outstanding problem of modern solar physics. A number of mechanisms that might pl…
