Boulder Solar Alliance	Keynote Presentation by Juri Toomre JILA & Dept Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, University of Colorado "Solar Interior Dynamics and Magnetism Probed with Helioseismology and Convection Simulations" We are in a joyous era of discovery about the operation of the highly turbulent solar convection zone. Such progress is enabled by the probing of solar surface flows and structures provided by helioseismology, complemented by large-scale numerical simulations of convection, rotation and magnetism enabled by rapid advances in supercomputing We discuss some of the highlights in the quest to understand the remarkably orderly behavior in rotation and cyclic magnetism exhibited by our nearest star. ----------------- The figure to the left shows solar surface weather (SSW) at a depth of 7Mm on a fine sunny day with fine magnetism (in red/green) in Apr 2002.
