Description
Using accurate radial velocity observations of integral sunlight, the background solar velocity noise has been measured at different frequencies of interest for solar oscillations within a frequency interval between 10-7 and 10-2Hz. Comparison with a numerical model, simulating the most important solar processes: granulation, mesogranulation, supergranulation and active regions, with associated velocity fields shows good agreement at the amplitudes and their, already known, characteristic time scales.
