We propose a useful method for mapping large-scale velocity fields in the solar photosphere. It is based on the local correlation tracking algorithm when tracing supergranules in full-disc dopplergrams. The method was developed using synthetic data. The data are transformed during the data processing into a suitable coordinate system, the noise is removed, and finally the velocity field is calculated. Resulting velocities are compared with the model velocities and the calibration is done. From our results it becomes clear that this method could be applied to full-disc dopplergrams acquired by the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO).

We present the results of comparison of photoelectrically and photographically made measurements of Doppler and proper motions with the distribution of the longitudinal magnetic field and spot topology in this large complex region.
