Temporal variations of the structure and the rotation rate of the solar
tachocline region are studied using helioseismic data from the Global
Oscillation Network Group (GONG) and the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI)
obtained during the period 1995--2000. We do not find any significant temporal
variation in the depth of the convection zone, the position of the tachocline
or the extent of overshoot below the convection zone. No systematic variation
in any other properties of the tachocline, like width, etc., is found either.
Possibility of periodic variations in these properties is also investigated.
Time-averaged results show that the tachocline is prolate with a variation by
about 0.02R_sun in its position. The depth of the convection zone or the extent
of overshoot does not show any significant variation with latitude.Comment: To appear in MNRA
