Verification, testing and investigation of systematic effects are crucial for the HMI
success• Two approaches:
– Comparison of analysis results obtained by different local helioseismology methods
• Ring diagram analysis• Acoustic holography/imaging
– Using numerical simulation data• Wave propagation linearized MHD codes
– Local sunspot regions (K.Parchevsky)– Full-Sun sphere (T.Hartlep)
• Non-linear radiative MHD codes– MSU code (R.Stein)– NASA/Ames code (A.Wray)

The controversies in data analysis procedures can be resolved by using
numerical simulation dataExample: phase-speed filtering is used for travel-time measurements at short travel distances to separate first- and second-bounce signals and improve S/N.

Problematic positive shifts
D=1 Mm (shallow) D=10 Mm (deep)
Testing of acoustic holography technique with phase-speed filtering revealed travel-time artifacts at short distances (Birch et al 2009)

Zhao et al (2009) repeated this test by using the standard time-distance technique with and without the phase-speed filtering and did not find such artifacts.They found a reasonably good agreement with the ray-theory predictions.
Blind tests have been done for both time-distance and holography codes using more complicated models.

1. Specify a sound-speed sunspot model.
2. Assume that this perturbation is spherically symmetric.
3. Calculate the frequency shifts by using the variational principle, and perturbed frequencies.
4. Fit to the frequencies of the standard solar model and the model with a sunspot-type perturbations
5. Calculate the frequency difference and run the structure inversion code (OLA), assuming 0.1% measurement error.
6. Compare inversions with the initial sunspot model.

Summary• The CT ring-diagram fitting formula used by Basu et al
(2004), Bogart et al (2008) and Gizon et al. (2009) may lead to large systematic errors.
• The sound-speed inversion results obtained from the CO ring-diagram frequencies for AR 9787 are qualitatively different from the results obtained from the CT ring-diagram fitting, and are more in line with the time-distance inversion results.
• Verification and testing of the local helioseismology techniques using numerical MHD simulation data is critical for development of the HMI data analysis pipeline.
• It is important to develop of methods and standards for intercomparison of the various local techniques.
