Description
We have inverted most of the available rotational frequency splittings at intermediate degrees. Namely, LOWL data from 1994 to 2000, GONG data from 1995 to 2001, and, MDI data from 1996 to 2002. Our purpose was to look for any temporal variation of the tachocline and its relation to the solar activity cycle. However, we did not find any significant change compatible with the three data sets. From our analysis, we estimated an upper limit on the temporal variation of Ω/2π of 3 nHz. This value is commensurable with the sensitivity of the present observational data to changes in the rotation rate of the tachocline.

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In
