Contemporary Observations
There are currently two solar-observation networks, the BiSON and GONG networks which consist of a global network of stations, as well as space based instruments such as the GOLF instrument aboard the SOHO spacecraft. These are able keep the Sun under near-continuous observation, and so largely eliminate the influence of diurnal signals. Data from these instruments show no oscillation at 160 minutes.
