Abstract
We analyze simultaneous helioseismic observations collected by the ground- and space-based instruments during solar cycle 23 by computing oscillation frequencies for low- and intermediate-degree p-modes on a time scale of 36 days. We find that the frequency shifts corresponding to different angular degree, ell, indicate different epochs for the onset of the solar cycle 24. The analysis also indicates the presence of double minima between cycles 23 and 24 for some range of ell values.
