The interaction of large-scale convective flows with sunspots and other magnetically active regions below the solar surface may have important implications for solar flares and coronal mass ejections. A number of local-helioseismology techniques: ring analysis time-distance tomography and acoustic holography allow us to study such interactions with varying horizontal resolution at varying depths and time scales. In contrast global helioseismology by its nature is only capable of measuring longitudinally averaged properties of the sun and does not distinguish between flows in the northern and southern hemispheres. Thus the information we are now deriving from local helioseismology is leading to a new era in our ability to understand how convection and magnetism interact. It is also leading to new questions as we try to understand the presence of large converging flows near active regions at shallow depths coexisting with larger diverging flows at greater depths. This talk will report on the latest findings from local helioseismology relating to interactions of subsurface flows with active regions.
