Abstract
Angular momentum transport by non-axisymmetric motions in the solar tachocline likely play a key role in maintaining the global rotation profile in the solar interior. As such, it has important implications with regard to the solar dynamo and to the amplification and emergence of magnetic flux. We report results from several types of numerical experiments designed to study angular momentum transport due to stratified turbulence and shear instabilities in the tachocline and we discuss what implications this may have for its latitudinal and vertical structure.
