Abstract
Cosmic ray interactions in the solar atmosphere yield a flux of electron an d muon neutrinos with energies greater than 10 GeV. We discuss the influenc e of neutrino oscillations on the event rates in water-based Cerenkov detec tors due to this neutrino flux and comment on the possibility of detecting the sun as a high energy neutrino source.
