Scientific paper

The spatial distribution of granule sizes at the surface of the sun is investigated. Granules have been separated into two classes: those larger than 1.37 arcsec and those smaller than 1.37 arcsec, the critical scale defined by Roudier and Muller (1986). It is found that granules are not distributed at random. Large granules appear to be clustered, forming a cellular pattern with a characteristic scale of 7 arcsec. Small granules form a similar and complementary pattern. These patterns are probably related to the mesogranulation.
