Description

The current understanding of solar convection is examined in connection with optical observations of the surface, helioseismological observations of the interior, and theories and simulations of compressible convection. Recent progress in these fields has been documented in workshops on solar granulation, the solar photosphere, and helioseismology. 202 refs
