Abstract
The solar oscillation data of Libbrecht (1989) are inverted, and it is found that there is a sharp radial gradient in the sun's rotation at the base of the convection zone. The existence of a sharp radial gradient there may be used to suggest that it is the site of the dynamo which drives the sunspot cycle.
