Acoustic properties of GBPs
- Sun is not static, it makes difficult to study acoustic properties
- need to construct a static model which is as close as possible to the real GBP

How do the waves look like for me?
Wave pattern changes in the region where Va > Cs.
Interestingly, plasma Va > Cs is below continuum formation layer

Solid lines - MBP centre
Dashed lines - granule

relative
Due to partial evacuation of the flux tube in MBP the oscillations in continuum are more
pronounced and non-linear

6302.5A Stokes profiles
Stokes V amplitude at x=0 is lower than at x=250 km. 6302.5A FeI line is bad for strong magnetic field
measurements due to saturation.
6302.5A FeI line is used for
polarimetry simulations

Oscillation amplitudes are of the order of 25% for filter and 2% for asymmetry and are certainly observable

Conclusions
• MHD simulations are a great thing
• We are able to make a “what if” case and show the observational consequences
• Being able to predict is important
• Most important: comparison of simulations with observations is only valid when it is done with properties of radiation
