Description

The cyclonic convection cells in a rotating, density-stratified medium will transport angular momentum efficiently, thereby making the rotation differential. An approximate theory for the angular momentum flows yields a relation between the rotational velocity and the coordinates which is in qualitative accord with the behavior observed on the sun. 11 references
