What does helioseismology tell us about solar cycle related structural changes in the Sun?

Abstract

Solar oscillations frequencies show a distinct change with solar activity. The changes in frequencies can be used to study the time variation of solar structure. We discuss constraints on the changes in solar structure with time as obtained with helioseismic data covering the last six years. The frequency variations appear to be dominated by changes in the near-surface layers rather than by changes in the structure of the deeper layers.
