Abstract

Dynamo waves approaching the solar poles are analyzed in the Parker approximation taking into account meridional circulation. Asymptotic solutions of the equations describing the generation of the magnetic field are constructed. It is shown in which cases the effect of meridional circulation results in traveling dynamo waves both incident on and reflected from the pole, or in a superposition of standing dynamo waves.
