We studied the solar surface flows (differential rotation and meridional circulation) using a magnetic element feature tracking technique by which the surface velocity is obtained using magnetic field data. We used the line-of-sight magnetograms obtained by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory from 01 May 2010 to 16 August 2017 (Carrington rotations 2096 to 2193) and tracked the magnetic element features every hour. Using our method, we estimated the differential rotation velocity profile. We found rotation velocities of $sim$ 30 and -170 m s$^{-1}$ at latitudes of 0$^{circ}$ and 60$^{circ}$ in the Carrington rotation frame, respectively. Our results are consistent with previous results obtained by other methods, such as direct Doppler, time-distance helioseismology, or cross correlation analyses. We also estimated the meridional circulation velocity profile and found that it peaked at $sim$12 m s$^{-1}$ at a latitude of 45$^{circ}$, which is also consistent with previous results. The dependence of the surface flow velocity on the magnetic field strength was also studied. In our analysis, the magnetic elements having stronger and weaker magnetic fields largely represent the characteristics of the active region remnants and solar magnetic networks, respectively. We found that magnetic elements having a strong (weak) magnetic field show faster (slower) rotation speed. On the other hand, magnetic elements having a strong (weak) magnetic field show slower (faster) meridional circulation velocity. These results might be related to the Suns internal dynamics.
Recent advances in helioseismology, numerical simulations and mean-field theory of solar differential rotation have shown that the meridional circulation pattern may consist of two or more cells in each hemisphere of the convection zone. According to
A key component of solar interior dynamics is the meridional circulation (MC), whose poleward component in the surface layers has been well observed. Time-distance helioseismic studies of the deep structure of MC, however, have yielded conflicting in
Using mean-field hydrodynamic models of the solar angular momentum balance we show that the non-monotonic latitudinal dependence of the radial angular momentum fluxes caused by Lambda-effect can affect the number of the meridional circulation cells s
Using a 3D global solver of the linearized Euler equations, we model acoustic oscillations over background velocity flow fields of single-cell meridional circulation with deep and shallow return flows as well as a double-cell meridional circulation p
Solar-cycle related variation of differential rotation is investigated through analyzing the rotation rates of magnetic fields, distributed along latitudes and varying with time at the time interval of August 1976 to April 2008. More pronounced diffe
