Scientific paper

The temperature distribution in a turbulent rotating photosphere is non-spherical. The authors report new solar observations that should help to understand the solar global dynamics problem. From about 1,400 h of solar-limb data obtained during the summers of 1983 - 85 they find that the solar-limb temperature variation is not spherically symmetric and is ≡1K. These results also indicate that the limb temperature departs from its expected l = 2 spatial harmonic form and has, at most, a weak dependence on solar cycle.
