Helioseismology over the solar cycle

Abstract

Helioseismology has produced unprecedented measurements of the Sun's internal structure and dynamics over the past 25 years. Much of this work has been based on global helioseismology. Now local helioseismology too is showing its great promise. This review summarizes very briefly the principal global results that may be relevant to an understanding of the origins of solar magnetism. Recent results regarding the variation of frequencies over the solar cycle and the temporal variations of subsurface flows are briefly summarized.
