SDO/HMI Science Team Meeting September 8-11, 2009, Stanford Sensitivity kernels, artificial data and testing Konstantin Parchevsky Alexander Kosovichev
Artificial data • We developed 3D code for numerical simulation of wave propagation inside the Sun (pure acoustics, MHD, and MHD+background velocities). • Non-uniform background model (both horizontally and vertically) with non-uniform magnetic field (for the magnetic instance of the code). User can specify a profile of the sound speed perturbation. • Localized single and multiple random sources. User can specify the depth, size, frequency range, type (force or pressure). • Additional damping (friction type term) can be specified.
Characteristic featuresof the code • We put great efforts to make results of simulations as close to the real Sun as possible for the linear code. • Dispersion-relation-preserving spatial scheme ( • Realistic top boundary condition (waves with frequency higher than acoustic cut-off frequency leave the domain). • Modification of the background state to remove the convective instability.
k- diagram Verifies almost the entire code: dispersion relation, numerical dispersion, numerical damping, boundary conditions, background model, source spectrum. position of the ridges, relative ridge ampl., overall power distr., cut-off frequency.
Effect of non-uniform distribution of sources Model I, wave field is masked Model II, sources are masked Model III, both wave field and sources are masked Ann. radii = 6.2-11.2, 8.7-14.5, 14.5-19.4 Mm
Conclusion • Ray path and Born high-res. sensitivity kernels are computed. • Linear 3D MHD code was developed and extensively tested. • Artificial data (both pure acoustic & magnetic) for testing and calibration of helioseismic techniques are ready for blind tests.
