7 Global View of Radial Velocity

8 But can we detect such giant cells by helioseismic observation?

9 Giant cells: complex evolving structures

10 Propagating and evolving velocity patterns Time-longitude map (relative to Carrington) at 20 degrees north +5d+10d

11 Big Questions: Global-Scale Convection Why no clear or direct detectionWhy no clear or direct detection of giant convection cells? Does intense near-surface turbulenceDoes intense near-surface turbulence of granulation and supergranulation yield transport barrier to deflect such flows? May simply be very tough to detectMay simply be very tough to detect since narrow downflows but wide cell scales, and they both evolve and propagate
