Calculations of the frequency of solar oscillation are sensitive to the upper boundary conditions of the model. Our investigations of the velocity fields of the overshoot layers (photosphere) have shown that there is a minimum of velocity at about 200 km above τ = 1: We suggest that this minimum provides a natural upper boundary condition for the calculations of solar oscillation. The propagation of sound in these layers has to be regarded as a propagation in a turbulent medium.
