We have derived the temporal power spectra of the horizontal velocity of the solar photosphere. The data sets for 14 quiet regions observed with the Gband filter of Hinode/SOT are analyzed to measure the temporal fluctuation of the horizontal velocity by using the local correlation tracking (LCT) method. Among the high resolution (~0.2) and seeing-free data sets of Hinode/SOT, we selected the observations whose duration is longer than 70 minutes and cadence is about 30 s. The so-called k-{omega} diagrams of the photospheric horizontal velocity are derived for the first time to investigate the temporal evolution of convection. The power spectra derived from k-omega diagrams typically have a double power law shape bent over at a frequency of 4.7 mHz. The power law index in the high frequency range is -2.4 while the power law index in the low frequency range is -0.6. The root mean square of the horizontal speed is about 1.1 km/s when we use a tracer size of 0.4 in LCT method. Autocorrelation functions of intensity fluctuation, horizontal velocity, and its spatial derivatives are also derived in order to measure the correlation time of the stochastic photospheric motion. Since one of possible energy sources of the coronal heating is the photospheric convection, the power spectra derived in the present study will be of high value to quantitatively justify various coronal heating models.

While the longitudinal field that dominates photospheric network regions has been studied extensively, small scale transverse fields have recently been found to be ubiquitous in the quiet internetwork photosphere. Few observations have captured how t
his field evolves. We aim to statistically characterise the magnetic properties and observe the temporal evolution of small scale magnetic features. We present two high spatial/temporal resolution observations that reveal the dynamics of two disk centre internetwork regions taken by the new GRIS/IFU (GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph Integral Field Unit) with the highly magnetically sensitive Fe I line pair at 15648.52 {AA} and 15652.87 {AA}. With the SIR code, we consider two inversion schemes: scheme 1 (S1), where a magnetic atmosphere is embedded in a field free medium, and scheme 2 (S2), with two magnetic models and a fixed stray light component.

Large-scale velocity fields in the solar photosphere remain a mystery in spite of many years of intensive studies. In this thesis, the new method of the measurements of the solar photospheric flow fields is proposed. It is based on local correlation
tracking algorithm applied to full-disc dopplergrams obtained by Michelson Doppler Images (MDI) on-board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO). The method is tuned and tested on synthetic data, it is shown that the method is capable of measuring of horizontal velocity fields with an accuracy of 15 mps. It is also shown that the method provides the measurements comparable with time-distance local helioseismology. The method is applied to real data sets. It reproduces well known properties of solar photospheric velocity fields. Moreover, the case studies show an evidence about the influence of the changes in the flow field topology on the stability of the eruptive filament and support the theory of the dynamical disconnection of bipolar sunspots from their magnetic roots. The method has a great perspective in the future use. The meridional flux transportation speed is also studied and it is shown that the direct measurement may differ from time-distance local helioseimology in the areas occupied by the strong magnetic field. This result has an impact to the flux transport dynamo models, which use the meridional speed as the essential observational input parameter.
In the recent papers, we introduced a method utilised to measure the flow field. The method is based on the tracking of supergranular structures. We did not precisely know, whether its results represent the flow field in the photosphere or in some su
b-photospheric layers. In this paper, in combination with helioseismic data, we are able to estimate the depths in the solar convection envelope, where the detected large-scale flow field is well represented by the surface measurements. We got a clear answer to question what kind of structures we track in full-disc Dopplergrams. It seems that in the quiet Sun regions the supergranular structures are tracked, while in the regions with the magnetic field the structures of the magnetic field are dominant. This observation seems obvious, because the nature of Doppler structures is different in the magnetic regions and in the quiet Sun. We show that the large-scale flow detected by our method represents the motion of plasma in layers down to ~10 Mm. The supergranules may therefore be treated as the objects carried by the underlying large-scale velocity field.
Convective flows are known as the prime means of transporting magnetic fields on the solar surface. Thus, small magnetic structures are good tracers of the turbulent flows. We study the migration and dispersal of magnetic bright features (MBFs) in in
tergranular areas observed at high spatial resolution with Sunrise/IMaX. We describe the flux dispersal of individual MBFs as a diffusion process whose parameters are computed for various areas in the quiet Sun and the vicinity of active regions from seeing-free data. We find that magnetic concentrations are best described as random walkers close to network areas (diffusion index, gamma=1.0), travelers with constant speeds over a supergranule (gamma=1.9-2.0), and decelerating movers in the vicinity of flux emergence and/or within active regions (gamma=1.4-1.5). The three types of regions host MBFs with mean diffusion coefficients of 130 km^2/s, 80-90 km^2/s, and 25-70 km^2/s, respectively. The MBFs in these three types of regions are found to display a distinct kinematic behavior at a confidence level in excess of 95%.
We describe a global parametric model for the observed power spectra of solar oscillations of intermediate and low degree. A physically motivated parameterization is used as a substitute for a direct description of mode excitation and damping as thes
e mechanisms remain poorly understood. The model is targeted at the accurate fitting of power spectra coming from Doppler velocity measurements and uses an adaptive response function that accounts for both the vertical and horizontal components of the velocity field on the solar surface and for possible instrumental and observational distortions. The model is continuous in frequency, can easily be adapted to intensity measurements and extends naturally to the analysis of high-frequency pseudo modes (interference peaks at frequencies above the atmospheric acoustic cutoff).
