Description
The signature of the Solar-Cycle appears clearly in the p-mode
parameters (Jiménez-Reyes et al. 1998, Libbrecht & Woodard
1990, and Anguera et al. 1992). At present, the study of the p-mode
parameter variation is a very active topic in helioseismology where,
thanks to projects like BISON, IRIS, GONG, LOWL and MDI, we are able for
the first time to analyse, using heliosismology, how the Sun internal
structure and dynamic change over the magnetic cycle. High-quality
observations for low degree p-modes have been accumulated for more than
twenty years using the solar spectro photometer MARK-I, located and
operating at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife, Spain). The data-base
available have been re-analyzed over a much wider time interval than
before. Moreover, the LOWL instrument, a Potassium Magneto-Optical
Filter, located at the Manua Loa Observatory, has been measuring for
more than six years solar oscillations of intermadiate p-mode degree.
The data-base represents one of the best available to analyze the
influence of the Solar-Cycle on the mode parameters, mainly because
these data, concerning both low and intermadiate degree modes, give us
information over an extensive range of the solar depths which may allow
us to locate characteristics of the solar dynamo process. Using
different data sets and different techniques, we analyse the behaviour
of the solar p-modes in an attempt to better understand the origin of
the Solar-Cycle.
