Description
The Sun modulates Earth climate, affects space instrumentation and displays a range of remarkable physical phenomena such as turbulent convection, sunspots, large-scale circulations etc. Current high-resolution space-based observations of the Sun and recent theoretical developments have rendered the 3-D imaging of the solar interior both plausible and accurate. I will describe the observations, methods and goals of contemporary helioseismology.
