The intensity residuals are analyzed from a series of solar limb-darkening measurements in the wavelength range 5656 to 2997 ~. The lengths of residual strings of the same sign exceed expectation by several orders of magnitude. The power spectrum of the residuals shows a weak excess around 6000 km.

The October 1976 spectroscopic observations of the solar chromosphere with the great coronagraph of the Kislovodsk Station of the Pulkovo Observatory were analysed using the autocorrelation method. The autocorrelation function and the power spectrum were calculated. It was found that the brightness
In this paper we study the dependence on depth and latitude of the solar angular velocity produced by a meridian circulation in the convection zone, assuming that the main mechanism responsible for setting up and driving the circulation is the interaction of rotation with convection. We solve the fi
Observations demonstrate a nearly 22-year periodic zonal flow superimposed on general solar differential rotation (LaBonte and Howard, 1982) and some meridional motions (e.g., Tuominen, Tuominen, and Kyrol~inen, 1983). Such flows can be excited by the magnetic wave generated by the dynamo in the sol
