Several upcoming and proposed space missions, such as Solar Orbiter, will be limited in telemetry and thus require data compression.Aims. We test the impact of data compression on local correlation tracking (LCT) of time series of continuum intensity images. We evaluate the effect of several lossy compression methods (quantization, JPEG compression, and a reduced number of continuum images) on measurements of solar differential rotation with LCT.Methods. We applied the different compression methods to tracked and remapped continuum intensity maps obtained by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. We derived 2D vector velocities using the local correlation tracking code Fourier Local Correlation Tracking (FLCT) and determined the additional bias and noise introduced by compression to differential rotation.Results. We find that probing differential rotation with LCT is very robust to lossy data compression when using quantization. Our results are severely affected by systematic errors of the LCT method and the HMI instrument. The sensitivity of LCT to systematic errors is a concern for Solar Orbiter."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361/201526805"],["dc.identifier.gro","3147451"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13430"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5015"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","public"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/ 312844"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/ 312495"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-6361"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","Data compression for local correlation tracking of solar granulation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

At the power maximum near frequency ω/2π = 3 mHz, the wavelength of 5 Mm is large enough for various wave scattering properties to be observable. Gizon & Birch have calculated spatial kernels for scattering in the Born approximation. In this paper, using isolated small magnetic features as approximate point scatterers, a linear-response kernel has been measured. In addition, the kernel has been estimated by deconvolving the magnetograms from the travel-time maps. The observed kernel is similar to the theoretical kernel for wave damping computed by Gizon & Birch: it includes elliptical and hyperbolic features. This is the first observational evidence to suggest that it is appropriate to use the Born approximation to compute kernels (as opposed to the ray approximation). Furthermore, the observed hyperbolic features confirm that it is important to take into account scattering of the waves coming from distant source locations (as opposed to the single-source approximation). The observed kernel is due to a superposition of the direct and indirect effects of the magnetic field. A simple model that includes both monopole and dipole scattering compares favorably with the data. This new technique appears to be promising to study how seismic waves interact with magnetic flux tubes."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1086/504792"],["dc.identifier.gro","3147418"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5004"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-637X"],["dc.title","Direct Measurement of Travel‐Time Kernels for Helioseismology"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","no"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Understanding convection is important in stellar physics, for example, when it is an input in stellar evolution models. Helioseismic estimates of convective flow amplitudes in deeper regions of the solar interior disagree by orders of magnitude among themselves and with simulations. Aims. We aim to assess the validity of an existing upper limit of solar convective flow amplitudes at a depth of 0.96 solar radii obtained using time-distance helioseismology and several simplifying assumptions. Methods. We generated synthetic observations for convective flow fields from a magnetohydrodynamic simulation (MURaM) using travel-time sensitivity functions and a noise model. We compared the estimates of the flow amplitude with the actual value of the flow. Results. For the scales of interest ( ℓ  < 100), we find that the current procedure for obtaining an upper limit gives the correct order of magnitude of the flow for the given flow fields. We also show that this estimate is not an upper limit in a strict sense because it underestimates the flow amplitude at the largest scales by a factor of about two because the scale dependence of the signal-to-noise ratio has to be taken into account. After correcting for this and after taking the dependence of the measurements on direction in Fourier space into account, we show that the obtained estimate is indeed an upper limit. Conclusions. We conclude that time-distance helioseismology is able to correctly estimate the order of magnitude (or an upper limit) of solar convective flows in the deeper interior when the vertical correlation function of the different flow components is known and the scale dependence of the signal-to-noise ratio is taken into account. We suggest that future work should include information from different target depths to better separate the effect of near-surface flows from those at greater depths. In addition, the measurements are sensitive to all three flow directions, which should be taken into account."],["dc.description.abstract","Context.
