Time series of the 2100/cm Delta v = 1 absorption bands of CO at the center of the solar disk and at the extreme limb have been recorded by Fourier transform spectrometer. The photospheric 5-min oscillation appears prominently at sun center. The peak-to-peak brightness temperature amplitude is roughly 300 K, and the peak-to-peak Doppler shift is roughly 1100 m/s. The 70 deg phase lag of maximum core intensity with respect to maximum redshift for the strongest Delta v = 1 absorptions is less than the 90 deg expected in the adiabatic limit. No dominant four-minute signal in the line intensity like that reported by Deming et al. (1984, 1986, and 1987) is found, nor is evidence for extreme fluctuations on short time scales like those proposed by Kalkofen et al. (1984). The strong Delta v = 1 lines exhibit systematic Doppler shifts of less than about 1 km/s, contrary to the predictions of transonic redshifts if the CO 'clouds' are associated with a dynamic cooling phase of the Ca II 'cell flashes.'
