โฆ Synopsis
A model of the solar photosphere incorporating a simple two-stream representation of granulation is found to give a small but significant improvement in the continuous radiation field over a homogeneous model. It is common to assume that the pressure does not vary with horizontal position; however, this assumption cannot be valid if the material is in hydrostatic equilibrium, so horizontal pressure differences between the hot and cold columns are allowed. This has a major effect on the structure, and one of the consequences is that temperature fluctuations at equal optical depths are greater than those at equal geometric depths.
