(full-scale version).
Full-disk Dopplergram obtained with MDI on 9 July 1996.
The large left-right variation is the signal from solar rotation.
The "texture" is a combination of the motion from the sound waves
that permeate the Sun and the large convective cells called
"super-granulation". The bright feature in the lower right quadrant
is an active region.
