The Sun''s Magnetic Power Spectra over Two Solar Cycles. I.
Knowledge of the variation of the supergranular size presented by the magnetic power spectrum is crucial for a better understanding of the interaction between the magnetic field and convection at different scales and of the solar total and spectral irradiance variations (Yeo et al. 2014). In our subsequent work, we will refine our methods of identifying supergranulation …
The Solar Spectrum
The solar surface or photosphere, this is a thin layer of the solar atmosphere probably only 200 km deep where the majority of the solar energy is radiated/emitted.

Magnetic power spectrum variability with large-scale total magnetic …
Therefore, the steepening of the magnetic power spectrum with increasing STD values may be interpreted as a manifestation of an increasing dominance of uniturbulence in solar wind dynamics. The fact that the steepening effect is present for all investigated PSP encounters and that it is indifferent to heliocentric distance (up to r ≈ 50 R ⊙ ) further strengthens this claim.
