Scientific paper

We have analyzed 27 3 month sets of Global Oscillaiton Network Group (GONG) data from the end of cycle 22 and the beginning of cycle 23 and here present evidence of significant shifts in the central frequencies and the even a-coefficients of the frequency splittings of the modes. The temporal behavior of the even a-coefficients is better reproduced by the corresponding coefficients of a Legendre polynomial decomposition of the surface magnetic field than by the total flux; i.e., the temporal variation is strongly correlated with the latitudinal distribution of the surface magnetic activity. These changes are consistent with available data from previous solar cycles. The even a-coefficients, which sense the asphericity of the solar structure, appear to show similar temporal evolution at all depths. The odd a-coefficients, which sense the internal differential rotation, show no significant variation with time or depth. In particular they show no significant correlation with either the magnetic flux or with the corresponding odd Legendre components of the flux. This suggests that the solar cycle related variation of the oscillation frequencies is not due to contamination of observed Doppler shifts by the surface magnetic fields.
