Large-scale flows in the Sun's interior have been studied using a variety of helioseismic techniques, including spectral analysis of spherical harmonic time series of photospheric velocity oscillations. Detailed maps of differential rotation have been obtained from measurements of the frequencies of resonance peaks in the power spectra. Flows can also affect power spectra in subtler ways, e.g., by their influence on the widths of resonance peaks. In addition to their spectral signature, flows and other aspherical perturbations also produce cross-spectral signatures, via the mode-coupling effect of a flow. Cross power spectra of time series of coefficients in the spherical-harmonic decomposition of SOHO/MDI medium-ℓ velocity images have been computed and are being compared with theoretical predictions. The results of a preliminary comparison of observed and theoretically predicted cross spectra for differential rotation and meridional circulation will be presented. A program to systematically map large-scale solar internal flow using cross-spectral data will be described.
