Solar SimulationSimulation of the surface region and interior of the Sun's convection zone. The objective is to provide understanding of the tachocline at the base of the convection zone. of the differential rotation generated by global convective motions, and of supergranules that are observed on the solar surface. Two large-scale simulation codes are used, one for the global dynamics in spherical coordinates and another for the local surface events in Cartesian geometry. We work in close collaboration with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager instrument developers for the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite. NASA Program: Living with a Star - Sun-Earth Connection.
