[Auszug] The vortex we observed had a diameter of ~ 5,000 km (about three granulation cells), an average circulation of 4,000 km s"1, and a central vorticity of 1,400 s"1. This vorticity is an order of magnitude larger than seen in previous measurements from the Solar Optical Universal Polarimeter (SOUP) ...
