The coordinates of the cooling cycle described in Paper I are re-defined in order to provide an account in which the part played by the cycle in cooling the sunspot is separated from the role of the supergranule cells in transporting energy away from it. More recent observations of velocity fields

A mechanism is proposed to explain the cooling of a sunspot in terms of the detailed interactions between the magnetic field and the convective motions. The mechanism provides that an axially symmetric concentration of magnetic field deforms the normal supergranule cell pattern below the sunspot int
In order to discuss the detailed interactions between the magnetic and velocity fields below a sunspot, several models of the convection zone are considered. It is suggested that giant convection cells establish a pattern of large superadiabatic gradients near the top and bottom of the zone analogou
This paper considers the recent criticism by Mullan (1973) of sunspot models and the cooling mechanism which I have proposed in Papers I, II and III of this series. The discussion of the cooling produced by an idealized flow cycle has been extended to include vertical temperature gradients which are
