The observed deficit of \rm 8B solar neutrinos may call for an improved standard model of the sun or an expanded standard model of particle physics (\it e.g., with neutrino masses and mixing). In the former case, contemporary fluid motions and thermal fluctuations in the sun's core may modify nuclear reaction rates and restore agreement. To test this notion, we propose a search for short--term variations of the solar neutrino flux.
