We have studied the statistical properties of the energy of individual p modes, extracted from 310 days of GOLF data near the solar minimum. The exponential distribution of the energy of each mode is clearly seen. The modes are found to be uncorrelated with a ±0.6% accuracy, thus supporting the hypothesis of stochastic excitation by the solar convection.

The same analysis performed on the same modes just before the solar maximum, using IPHIR data, rejects the hypothesis of no correlation at a 99.3% confidence level. A simple model suggests that 31.3 ± 9.4% of the energy of each mode is coherent among the modes studied in IPHIR data, corresponding to a mean correlation of 10.7 ± 5.9%.
