Scientific paper

The authors describe a new observing system which is currently nearing completion at the Mount Wilson Observatory. This system has been designed to obtain daily measurements of solar photospheric and subphotospheric rotational velocities from the frequency splitting of non-radial solar p-mode oscillations of moderate to high degree. The completed system will combine a 244×248 pixel CID camera with a high-speed floating point array processor, a 32-bit minicomputer, and a large-capacity disc storage system. These components will be integrated into the spectrograph of the 60-foot solar tower telescope at Mount Wilson.
