Sketch showing the Coriolis force mediated average flow structures around active regions in the northern hemisphere. The labels depict the signs of residuals in meridional flows, δUθ, and that of resulting residual rotational shear for the two depths, 0.99 and 0.95 R, which mark the radial boundaries of the NSSL.
