Helioseismic correlation data computed from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Michelson Doppler Imager high-resolution Doppler images were inverted for solar flows of horizontal scale between 5 and 45 Mm. The photospheric Doppler velocity inferred from the inversions was compared with the original Doppler images at each scale. For horizontal scales greater than about 15 Mm, the seismically inferred and directly observed flow maps look similar, as has been seen in studies of supergranular flow. At smaller scales, the similarity disappears, but regression analysis reveals significant correlation between the maps, demonstrating that solar p- and f-mode oscillations contain useful information about these flows. The slope of the computed regression plots is close to unity, indicating that mesogranular-scale flows extend at least a megameter below the photosphere.
