GOLF (Global Oscillations at Low Frequency) instrument, a joint project of ESA and NASA, studies the

Internal structure of the sun

Movements of underwater ocean currents

Natural satellites of newly discovered exo-planets

Black holes and supernovas

It will be on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft.

The GOLF instrument studies the internal structure of the sun by measuring how the surface of the Sun oscillates.

GOLF measures the velocity of the surface in the direction of sight - that is, how fast is the surface moving towards or away from the instrument.
