We investigate the structure of the Sun by helioseismic inversion of a set of p-mode frequencies which include new precise observations of modes with high degree obtained from the MDI instrument on the SOHO satellite. Such data have the potential to improve the resolution of the solar structure in the near-surface region, to test the equation of state and constrain the envelope helium abundance.
