• Comparison of a quiet tile with a nearby active region (5o to 8o away) with a quiet tile with no nearby active region at the same disk position (same latitude and Stunyhurst longitude)
o using HMI 5o patches from June 2010 to January 2012.
o The HMI ring-digram analysis pipeline uses two fitting methods: rdfitc (Basu & Antia 1999) and rdfitf (Haber et al. 2000, which is also used by GONG pipeline). Looking at the magnetic field from a distance…

ConclusionsWe observe an outflow from about 3 Mm until 6 Mm deep in quiet regions which are 50 to 80 from an active region and some indication of an inflow 0-2 Mm deep.
There is a surface term when comparing a quiet region with a nearby active region and a quiet tile (with no nearby AR).
The two fitting methods give different slopes for Fsurf which is mainly a function of frequency.
This surface term is similar, but present some differences with the surface term for AR – Q.

MDI Dynamics 2001
Two different peak-fitting algorithms were used to fit the power spectra and obtain the mode frequencies:
• Medium-l modes: known as the MDI peak-fitting method, is described in detail by Schou (1992) and improved in Larson & Schou (2008, 2009).
• High-l modes: At high degrees, the spatial leaks lie closer in frequency, resulting in the overlap of the target mode with the spatial leaks that merge individual peaks into ridges, making it more difficult to estimate unbiased mode frequencies (also at large frequencies): Korzennik et al. (2013).
Data used:

MDI (2001) - model S
a "surface term" developed by Brodsky & Vorontsov (1993) using a higher-order asymptotic theory suitable for high-degree mode frequencies is used:
To suppress the uncertainties in the surface layers in helioseismic models,

Conclusions
The sound speed inversion using Korzennik et al (2013) high-degree (l = 100-1000) mode frequencies agrees with (old) MDI medium-l results (from Basu et al. 2009).
Good averaging kernels until 0.985 R .
More work needs to be done: oscillation in the results are likely due to error correlation invert for every l.

Variation of the mode parameters with solar cycle
It is well known that amplitudes decrease while mode widths increase in the presence of magnetic fields (for example, Rajaguru, Basu, and Antia, 2001).
Rabello-Soares, Bogart, and Basu (2008) have reported that the relation between the change in width and mode amplitude was very nearly linear.
