Abstract

We show that, if the large scale departures from the mean differential rotation, measured by Howard and Harvey, represent nearly horizontal flow, we may under certain assumptions deduce a pattern of streamlines for these motions from the doppler line of sight velocities. This can be done with data from a single day, without having to construct the total flow from different projections of the (assumed) same velocity vectors seen on different days. Mathematically the method involves integrating a single first order inhomogeneous partial differential equation along a set of characteristic curves which are circles concentric with the center of the solar disk.
