Extract

Recently I have carried out a two-dimensional radiative-transfer analysis of the data given by Edmonds on centrelimb relative rms intensity fluctuations in terms of horizontal temperature fluctuations in the solar photosphere. Edmonds himself attempted an analysis of his data and found a ΔTrms which increased monotonically from about 300°K at unit mean optical depth (i.e. at a given physical depth) to 500°K at optical depth 3.
