Mount Wilson solar-velocity data taken since improvement of the spectrograph in May 1982 are analyzed to search for photospheric traces of persistent velocity patterns that are anticipated in recent model predictions. The method involves time-averaged autocorrelations and cross correlations of the residuals that remain after least-squares fits for differential rotation, limb shift, and meridional circulation are extracted from the daily-magnetogram velocity arrays. It is argued that, owing to the supergranular motions in the photosphere, the sensitivity in applying the present method to the new Mount Wilson data is close to the ultimate sensitivity possible for detection of this phenomenon. The following limits are currently established through this analysis: (1) there is no sharply peaked power spectrum with amplitude above about 1 m/s per wavenumber, and (2) there is no broad-band power spectrum for which the total integrated power is greater than about 10 sq m/sq sec.
