The power spectrum of more than 630 days of full-disk solar velocity data, provided by the GOLF spectrophotometer aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, has revealed the presence of modelike structure well beyond the acoustic cutoff frequency for the solar atmosphere ( nu _{{ac}}~5.4 mHz). Similar data produced by full-disk instruments deployed in Earth-based networks (BiSON and IRIS) had not shown any peak structure above nu ac: this is probably due to the higher levels of noise that are inherent in Earth-based experiments. We show that the observed peak structure ( nu _{{ac}}<= nu <=7.5 mHz) can be explained by a simple two-wave interference model if the high-frequency waves are partially reflected at the back side of the Sun.
