The existence of a 2-hr 40-min global solar velocity oscillation has recently been reported. The present letter examines the possibility that this phenomenon represents the rotation of large-scale solar velocity cells (supergranulation) through the field of view of the instrument used to detect the oscillations. On the basis of high-resolution full-disk velocity data, it is concluded that this mechanism can produce apparent oscillations with periods near 2 hr 40 min.
