Description
By operating two observing stations, one at Izana on Tenerife and the other at Haleakala on Maui, up to 22 hours of continuous solar surface velocity data per day are obtained. Correlation of two station data provides confirmation of the solar origin of the signals and the improved window function and long time span of data collection yield clear power spectra of the 5 minute oscillations. Detailed analysis of a prominent l1 mode indicates that coherence exists over the 88 days of observation.
