Extensive time series of resolved solar images have been available for helioseismological investigations since the late 1970's. The paper presents examples of the frequencies, power levels, modal energies, and widths of solar intermediate-degree and high-degreee p-modes obtained at the Mt. Wilson Observatory's 60-Foot Solar Tower Telescope during the rising phase of the current sunspot cycle. It is shown that the inclusion of frequency splittings from the high-degree p-modes has made it possible to demonstrate that the sun's internal equatorial angular velocity is not constant with radius but varies systematically with radius throughout the solar convection zone and below.
