Abstract: |
We assess the noise in p-mode travel-time shifts which would form the basis of inferences of large-scale flows throughout the solar convection zone. We derive the expected travel times from a parameterized return flow component of the meridional circulation. We show that a helioseismic detection of the return component may not be possible using data spanning an interval less than a solar cycle.
