The frequency variation of global modes provides information about the solar structure and the rotation rate of the solar interior. The solar-cycle variation of the rotation rate, the so-called torsional oscillation, extends throughout the convection zone. Alternating bands of faster- and slower-than-average rotation move from mid-latitudes toward the equator during the solar cycle. The variation of the meridional flow, measured with local helioseismic techniques, is of similar amplitude. The zonal- and the meridional-flow variation related to a new cycle are noticeable years before magnetic activity of the new cycle is present at the surface. The sound-speed variations show a small, but significant variation with the solar cycle near the base of the convection zone, which might be interpreted as a change in magnetic field strength. The mode characteristics, such as acoustic radius and frequency shifts, provide information about changes in the near-surface layers, where acoustic modes are excited.
