Abstract

Subgranular motions at the highest resolution yet achieved were studied to examine the small scale dynamics of the photospheric plasma. The paths of the bright points were analyzed. It was found that the studied motions are the walks of imperfectly correlated tracers on a turbulent fluid flow in the lanes between granular convection cells.
