Abstract

We present the first 2-dimensional global rotational inversions of medium-degree p-mode data from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager, and compare the results with inversions of Michelson Doppler Imager data for the same time period. The inferred rotation profiles show good agreement between the two instruments.
