In this paper we study the dependence on depth and latitude of the solar angular velocity produced by a meridian circulation in the convection zone, assuming that the main mechanism responsible for setting up and driving the circulation is the interaction of rotation with convection. We solve the fi
Observations demonstrate a nearly 22-year periodic zonal flow superimposed on general solar differential rotation (LaBonte and Howard, 1982) and some meridional motions (e.g., Tuominen, Tuominen, and Kyrol~inen, 1983). Such flows can be excited by the magnetic wave generated by the dynamo in the sol
