Echelle diagram of solar p modes taken from Broomhall et al. (2009) (filled circles) and an appropriate solar model constructed using YREC. The higher-order model frequencies are increasingly deviating from the observations due to deficiencies in modeling the upper stellar layers. The systematic errors of the models are much bigger than the random observational uncertainties.
