Abstract
By use of time-distance helioseismology, we derived solar rotational rates, meridional flow velocities, as well as synoptic flow maps to a depth of around 12 Mm (Zhao & Kosovichev, 2004). This paper is the beginning of an attempt to derive large scale flow fields and make synoptic flow maps in the deeper solar interior, up to the bottom of the solar convection zone. So far, we have made time-distance measurements and inversions to a depth of around 50 Mm, one fourth of the solar convection zone. In this paper, we present some initial results, including rotational rates, meridional flows, synoptic flow maps for selected Carrington rotations, and flow fields around large active region AR9393 at various depths.
