Durney, B. R. 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.
