Abstract: | The effects of meridional circulation on the solar dynamo wave are investigated in the Parker approximation using WKB techniques. The meridional circulation can substantially prolong the activity cycle; however, in the framework of the approximation considered, it cannot reverse the direction of propagation of the dynamo wave. If the circulation speed is too high, the solution is concentrated near the pole and can no longer be described in the Parker approximation. |
