โฆ Synopsis
A study of the solar total irradiance data of the Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor (ACRIM) on the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite shows a small but formally significant shift in the frequencies of solar acoustic (p-mode) oscillations between the epochs of maximum and minimum solar activity. Specifically, the mean frequency of the strongest p-mode resonances of low spherical-harmonic degree (l = 0-2) is approximately 1.3 parts in 104 higher in 1980, near the time of sunspot maximum, than in ~ 1985, near sunspot minimum. The observed frequency shift may be an ll-yr effect but the precise mechanism is not clear.
