Using helioseismology to understand and predict the solar cycle
Abstract
Helioseismology is now being used to investigate the subsurface flows that are related to the solar cycle. The relevant flows are the east-west zonal flows (torsional oscillation), and the north-south meridional flows. This poster will summarize the relationship of the timing of the solar cycle with the characteristics of the zonal and meridional flows; as well as what we know about the nature of the deep meridional flows that play a role in the dynamo.
