Scientific paper

Greenwich sunspot data for solar cycle No. 18 (1944-54) are used to show that sunspots in the left part of the butterfly diagram for the cycle tend to have higher angular velocities than sunspots in the right part of the diagram. The velocity differences are estimated to be of the order of 3 m/s. It is concluded that the higher angular velocities in the left part of the diagram may have been a response to the torsional oscillations of the unmagnetized photospheric plasma that were found by Howard and La Bonte (1980).
