On the magnetic field required for driving the observed angular-velocity variations in the solar convection zone

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-06-11 v1

Abstract

A putative temporally varying circulation-free magnetic-field configuration is inferred in an equatorial segment of the solar convection zone from the helioseismologically inferred angular-velocity variation, assuming that the predominant dynamics is angular acceleration produced by the azimuthal Maxwell stress exerted by a field whose surface values are consistent with photospheric line-of-sight measurements.
