Kuhn et al. (1988) have found that there are variations in the photospheric temperature with the solar cycle that depend on solar latitude. This would be an independent mechanism, other than the effects of sunspots and faculae, contributing to the change in solar irradiance (Kuhn 1991). It is important to pursue this investigation as such variations would be related to the transport of energy through the convection zone, and thus give a good indication of its structure and evolution.
