  Observations of the solar photosphere show spatially-compact large-amplitude
Doppler velocity events with short lifetimes. In data from the Imaging
Magnetograph eXperiment (IMaX) on the first flight of the Sunrise balloon in
2009, events with velocities in excess of 4{\sigma} from the mean can be
identified in both intergranular downflow lanes and granular upflows. We show
that the statistics of such events are consistent with the random superposition
of strong convective flows and p-mode coherence patches. Such coincident
superposition has implications for the interpretation of acoustic wave sources
in the solar photosphere, and may be important to the interpretation of
spectral line profiles formed in solar photosphere.
