The Emergence of Solar Supergranulation as a Natural Consequence of Rotationally-Constrained Interior Convection
Nicholas A. Featherstone, Bradley W. Hindman
We investigate how rotationally-constrained, deep convection might give rise to supergranulation, the largest distinct spatial scale of convection observed in the solar photosphere…

Velocity Amplitudes in Global Convection Simulations: The Role of the Prandtl Number and Near-Surface Driving
Bridget O'Mara, Mark S. Miesch, Nicholas A. Featherstone +1
Several lines of evidence suggest that the velocity amplitude in global simulations of solar convection, U, may be systematically over-estimated. Motivated by these recent results,…
