摘要：

In order to search for meridional circulation in the solar envelope, we have applied ring diagram analysis to a set of small regions over the surface. The helioseismic data consist of Solar Oscillation Investigation/Michelson Doppler Imager Dopplergrams taken over a time span of about 50 hr (similar to 3000 images) on 1998 June 20-22. The regions studied cover 115 degrees in latitude cantered on the equator and 30 degrees in longitude. We find poleward flows between r/ R. = 0.97 and the surface. There is no evidence in this depth range for the return path of these meridional flows. The temporal stability of these flows will be discussed after the analysis of a synoptic map obtained using the same technique.
