A comparison of the meridional flows in the sun's convection zone, predicted by theories of the solar dynamo and differential rotation

B. R. Durney

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

Recently Yoshimura has evaluated the gradient of the Sun's angular velocity (d /Jr) necessary to give a good fit to the observed solar activity cycle. We estimate the meridional velocities in the convection zone, implied by this value of . These meridional velocities are in good agreement with those necessary to explain the Sun's surface differential rotation. Subject headings: hydromagnetics - interiors, solar - rotation, solar
