โฆ Synopsis
In the standard model of the solar convective zone, turbulent eddies transport entropy rather than temperature. We consider the turbulent mean field equations for the convective zone, including entropy transport, and show that the zone can be unstable to larger scale motion which we identify with the supergranulation and giant cells.
