Good quality photographs of many regular sunspots were obtained in three spectral regions, with the use of narrow band filters. Isodensity contours were used for measurements of the umbra and penumbra size along different axes of sunspots. A parameter based on the morphology of the whole sunspot was

Proper periods are calculated for oscillations of an isothermal gaseous layer with a homogeneous vertical magnetic field, limited by two rigid horizontal boundaries. The obtained results are in good agreement with the observed umbral oscillations in a sunspot.
## Abstract Results from a series of boundary layer measurements carried out at Ashchurch, Worcestershire during July 1976 are combined with those from the 1973 Minnesota experiment. This data set provides a more complete description of the behaviour of some turbulence statistics through the depth
Convective instability and overstability of a plane-parallel medium in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field is studied. We take into account both the effect of penetration of disturbances into sub-adiabatically stratified semi-infinite upper and lower layers, and the effect of thermal d
We have used the 512 channel diode array and vacuum telescope at KPNO to study the photospheric intensity distribution around sunspots, for comparison with isotherms predicted by convective blocking models of heat flow. Raster scan observations of 10 spots on 18 days were carried out in 1980 and 198
