Description
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.
