Abstract
We used the Sacramento Peak Doppler-Zeeman Analyzer to study the velocity and magnetic fields in 60″ × 300″ areas on the solar disk. We map the steady component of the line-of-sight velocity and longitudinal magnetic fields and compare them with the coarse Ca+ network. The collective phase behavior of the 5-min oscillations is studied in detail. We find large scale phase coherence, including waves with typical horizontal phase velocities of 100 km/sec which can be followed up to 50 000 km. The important oscillatory features are interpreted in terms of the properties of modified sound waves. We find no apparent relationship between the steady and oscillatory fields.
