The meridional flow in the Sun is an axisymmetric flow that is generally poleward directed at the surface, and is presumed to be of fundamental importance in the generation and transport of magnetic fields. Its true shape and strength,…

The Sun's axisymmetric flows, differential rotation and meridional flow, govern the dynamics of the solar magnetic cycle and variety of methods are used to measure these flows, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Flow measurements…
