Stellar-wind models which incorporate meridional flows tend to open magnetic flux tubes in the equatorial plane of the star. Transport of the magnetic field to higher latitudes is accompanied by an increase in the azimuthal velocity, which increases the corotation of the plasma at all latitudes. The percentage correction to the azimuthal magnetic field compared to classical models is a 10 to 20 percent effect at 5 AU and an angle of 90 deg, whereas the azimuthal velocity correction is a 20 to 40 percent effect. The model is compared with recent observations from Pioneer 10 which may indicate that the azimuthal magnetic field is not as large near Jupiter as suggested by classical two-dimensional models.
