Abstract
We are investigating how advective motions and structures such as magnetic flux tubes affect the propagation of p modes in the Sun. We do this by means of a computer code which determines the eigenfrequencies of a ray with a given dispersion relation traveling through a plane-parallel medium with variations in the local wave velocity. By coupling this program to a numerical model of the solar convection zone, we plan to calculate shifts in eigenfrequencies as well as line widths and compare them to new high-quality data from the GONG project as well as from the MDI instrument on SOHO.
