Abstract

The content of this chapter has been published in Nielsen et al. (2014), A & A vol. 568, L12. The work was carried out and written by myself, under the supervision of L. Gizon, H. Schunker and J. Schou from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research. The final section of this chapter is a short outlook and discussion of the potential for extending and improving the work in the original publication of Nielsen et al. (2014).
