In our previous work (Takata & Shibahashi 1998), we constructed a solar model called the seismic solar model, which has the consistent profile of sound speed as well as the consistent depth of the convection zone with helioseismology. The profile of the heavy element abundance, however, had to be assumed to be constant for feasibility. Here we try to constrain the distribution of the heavy element abundance as well by the solar oscillation frequencies, adopting all of the basic equations which govern the solar structure.
