To study the evolution and decay of large convective cells known as supergranules, a solar telescope was set up at Maitri, Indian permanent station in Antarctica region during the local summer months (December 1989 through March 1990). A continuous sequence of calcium-K-line filtergrams for 106 hours with an interval of about 10 minute was obtained. The analysis of this data indicates that most probable life time of the calcium K network is about 20 hours. The life time depends upon the size of the cell and is larger for bigger cells. The data also show that cells (of given size) associated with remanent magnetic field regions live longer than those in the region free from magnetic field regions.
