Meridional circulation and differential rotation in the solar convection zone

Hiromoto Shibahashi

Abstract

Abstract With the development of local helioseismology, such as the time‐distance technique, investigation of meridional flow and differential rotation in the solar convection zone has become possible. I summarize recent observational results, and review theoretical considerations of meridional circulation in relation to differential rotation, which is now well unveiled in the solar convection zone by helioseismology.
