Photospheric magnetoconvection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
Magnetic fields, convective motions and radiative energy transport all strongly influence each other in the solar photosphere. Attempts to understand, at a quantitative level, the diverse phenomona seen in the photosphere have relied on increasingly powerful computers since the 1980's. This approach has been remarkably successful and some recent examples, particularly cases where all three ingredients are important, will be discussed.
