The paper calculates the meridional flow in the solar convection zone from the azimuthal momentum equation and compares the results with the existing surface observations. The dominant flows are found to contain only a few cells per hemisphere. Other than the meridional flow, the azimuthal momentum equation contains the velocity correlations (ur uphi) and (utheta uphi), as well as the angular velocity, Omega. The stream functions psi2 and psi4 define meridional motions with one and two latitudinal cells, respectively. The resultant meridional flow has a one-cell component rising at the equator and a two-cell component sinking at midlatitudes, in agreement with observations.
