Two-dimensional filtergrams of a 90 x 90-arcsec solar field, obtained with time resolution 12 s and spatial resolution 1 arcsec using a Halle birefringent filter (bandwidth 60 pm) centered on the blue peak of the Ca II K line and a CCD array on the Vacuum Tower Telescope at Sacramento Peak Observatory in a 20-min observing run on November 11, 1983, are presented and analyzed. Cells of extent about 8 Mm (i.e., on the scale of mesogranulation) are observed and found to exhibit significant intensity variations of period 3-5 min, the phase cells determined by Fourier analysis being of about the same size as the observed structures. The possibility that mesogranulation may be closely related to the 5-min solar oscillation is discussed.
