| Abstract: |
An important feature of the solar cycle is the transport of unbalanced
magnetic flux from active regions towards the poles, which eventually
results in polarity reversal. This transport takes the form of distinct
“polarity streams” that are visible in the magnetic butterfly diagram. We compare the poleward migration rate estimated from such streams to that derived from the subsurface meridional flows measured in helioseismic data from the GONG network since 2001, and find that the results are in reasonable agreement. |
