Solar p-mode multiplet oscillation frequencies and expansion coefficients for degeneracy splitting have been measured in the summers of 1986 and 1988–1990. Temporal variations not unlike the differences between 1988 and 1986 reported by Libbrecht & Woodard (1990) continue into 1990. These differences are possibly associated with the solar cycle. We report here on our first findings about the variation of the internal angular velocity and asphericity deduced from these frequency differences.
