Helioseismology studies have built up a certain picture of the solar interior, including such details as the depth of the convection zone. |
Corrections are only applied to data poleward of the convection zone boundary. |
The convection zone is bounded by the HMB which extends to 61° MLAT on the nightside. |
During this period the Swarm A satellite makes a complete pass through the northern hemisphere high-latitude convection zone. |
As the wave front comes in contact with the tropical convection zone, it scatters and a secondary wave is generated. |
It is believed that the movement of mass within the convection zone creates the magnetic activity that generates sunspots. |
