Scientific paper

The striking similarity between the cyclic equatorward migration of the torsional oscillation belts and the sunspot activity latitudes inspired several attempts to seek an explanation of the torsional phenomenon in terms of interactions between flux ropes and plasma motions. The aim of the present work is to examine the spatial and temporal coincidences of the torsional waves and the emergence of sunspot magnetic fields. The locations of the shearing latitudes have been compared with the distributions of certain sunspot parameters by using sunspot data of more than two cycles. The bulges of the sunspot number and area distributions tend to be located within the `forward' belts close to their poleward shearing borders. A possible geometry of the magnetic and velocity field interacion is proposed.
