Abstract

Ring diagram analysis is an extension of global helioseismology that is applied to small areas on the Sun. It can be used to infer the horizontal components of large scale flows as well as the structure, and variations thereof, in the outer convection zone. We describe below the ring‐diagram analysis technique, and some results obtained using this technique. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
