Scientific paper

Deviations in the solar granulation pattern are examined. It is shown that the nature of the pattern changes on a timescale of 5-10 minutes, in which the number of granules is shown to increase by a factor of 1.2-1.6 over an area of 4-6 x 10 to the 8th sq km. When the number of granules is increasing, the formation of new granules by fragmentation exceeds the disappearance of granules by a factor of 3.6. When the number of granules is decreasing, the rate of merging is twice as fast as fragmentation.
