Torsional Oscillations were first observed on the surface of the sun aswaves of small deviations from differential rotation, which propagatefrom the pole to the equator over solar-cycle time scales. Morerecently they have been inferred from observations of solar globaloscillations to occur in the convection zone. Long-lived brighteningsin the corona have also been observed to propagate from near the polesto the equator over similar time scales. This paper will discuss therelationship between torsional oscillations as observed on the surfaceand in the convection zone and brightenings in the corona. We findthat there is an apparent connection between these two phenomena thatextends from the equator to latitudes as high as 70 to 80 degrees.R. C.
