Instrument: GOLF : Global Oscillations at Low Frequencies
	Instrument Category: Solar/Space Observing Instruments Instrument Class: Magnetic Field/Electric Field Instruments

Associated Platforms SOHO Spectral/Frequency Information Wavelength Keyword: Ultraviolet Number Channels: 1 Spectral/Frequency Coverage/Range: 17 A Related Data Sets View all records related to this instrument Description The Global Oscillations at Low Frequencies (GOLF) experiment on the SOHO mission aims to study the internal structure of the sun by measuring the spectrum of global oscillations in the frequency range 10-7 to 10-2 Hz. Both p and g mode oscillations will be investigated, with the emphasis on the low order long period waves which penetrate the solar core.
