Scientific paper

We point out that observations of a 5 percent velocity difference between photospheric gas and magnetic structures at a given latitude may simply result from angular momentum conservation by fluid elements in the convection zone. Estimates of the viscosity and magnetic drag are considered, and we conclude that they probably are not large enough to enforce strictly rigid rotation.
