Large-Scale Dynamics of the Convection Zone and Tachocline
The past few decades have seen dramatic progress in our understanding of solar interior dynamics, prompted by the relatively new science of helioseismology and increasingly sophisticated numerical models.

Study of sunspot motion and flow fields associated with solar flares [PDF]
Evolution of sunspot structure and photospheric magnetic fields are important to understand how the flare energy is built up and released. With high-resolution optical data, it is possible to examine in details the optical flows of the photosphere and ...

Patterns and trends of cloud cover and photosynthetically active solar irradiation in southern England: implications for vegetation productivity [PDF]
The aim of the research described in this thesis was to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) over the UK, in particular, to estimate both global PAR and the fraction of diffuse PAR at spatial and ...

A decade of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN): scientific achievements, new techniques and future directions [PDF]
The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) has been operating as an international co-operative organisation for over 10 years. The network has now grown so that the fields of view of its 18 radars cover the majority of the northern and southern ...

Space- and ground-based investigations of solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling [PDF]
This paper provides a brief review of the understanding of the coupled solar wind–magnetosphere–ionosphere system that can be attained from observations of the size of the ionospheric polar caps from space and the ground.

Three years of Sun-as-a-star radial-velocity observations on the approach to solar minimum [PDF]
The time-variable velocity fields of solar-type stars limit the precision of radial-velocity determinations of their planets' masses, obstructing detection of Earth twins.

Recurrent flares in active region NOAA 11283 [PDF]
Context. Flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are solar phenomena that are not yet fully understood. Several investigations have been performed to single out their related physical parameters that can be used as indices of the magnetic complexity ...
