Supergranulation

Index Supergranulation

Supergranulation is a particular pattern of convection cells on the Sun's surface called supergranules. [1]

8 relations: Convection cell, Doppler effect, Granule (solar physics), Photosphere, Scale parameter, Sun, Tributary, W. H. Freeman and Company.

Convection cell

In the field of fluid dynamics, a convection cell is the phenomenon that occurs when density differences exist within a body of liquid or gas.

Doppler effect

The Doppler effect (or the Doppler shift) is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to observer who is moving relative to the wave source.

Granule (solar physics)

Granules on the photosphere of the Sun are caused by convection currents (thermal columns, Bénard cells) of plasma within the Sun's convective zone.

Photosphere

The photosphere is a star's outer shell from which light is radiated.

Scale parameter

In probability theory and statistics, a scale parameter is a special kind of numerical parameter of a parametric family of probability distributions.

Tributary

A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or main stem (or parent) river or a lake.
