Abstract
The dependence on latitude of the azimuthal component of the interplanetary magnetic field generates a meridional pressure gradient which, in turn, generates a meridional flow. This flow has observable consequences in the equatorial plane, although the meridional velocity itself may be zero in this plane. Analytic estimates of these observables—the mass flux, azimuthal and radial magnetic flux, density, and spiral angle—are made in the range of 1 to 12 AU.
