We describe the defining observations of the solar cycle that provide constraints for the
dynamo processes operating within the Sun. Specifically, we report on the following topics …

Context. Several types of inertial modes have been detected on the Sun. Properties of these
inertial modes have been studied in the linear regime, but have not been studied in …

Context. Several types of global-scale inertial modes of oscillation have been observed on
the Sun. These include the equatorial Rossby modes, critical-latitude modes, and high …

Rapidly rotating fluids have a rotation profile that depends only on the distance from the
rotation axis, in accordance with the Taylor-Proudman theorem. Although the Sun was …

Context. The Babcock-Leighton flux-transport model is a widely accepted dynamo model of
the Sun that can explain many observational aspects of solar magnetic activity. This dynamo …

The meridional circulation of the Sun, which is observed to be poleward at the surface,
should have a return flow at some depth. Since large-scale flows like the differential rotation …

Context. The solar meridional flow is an essential ingredient in flux-transport dynamo
models. However, no consensus on its subsurface structure has been reached. Aims. We …

It has recently been recognized that the convective velocities achieved in current solar
convection simulations might be overestimated. The newly revealed effects of the prevailing …

Using a 3D global solver of the linearized Euler equations, we model acoustic oscillations
over background velocity flow fields of single-cell meridional circulation with deep and …

Context. Differential rotation in stars is driven by the turbulent transport of angular
momentum. Aims. Our aim is to measure and parameterize the non-diffusive contribution to …
