We examine the role of small-scale granulation in helping to drive supergranulation and even larger scales of convection. The granulation is modeled as localized plumes with statistics taken from surface convection simulations introduced at the upper boundary of a 3-D simulation of compressible convection in a rotating spherical shell segment. With a sufficient number of stochastic plume events compared to a uniform cooling, we find that supergranular scales are realized, along with a differential rotation that becomes increasingly solar-like.
