Abstract

The recently upgraded system of the ground-based Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) network of helioseismic observatories has started to provide higher-resolution solar oscillation measurements suitable for local helioseismic studies. Selecting simultaneously observed regions on the Sun by both GONG and the space-borne Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instrument on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), we perform a comparative analysis of time-distance measurements focussing on the noise properties.
