Meridional Circulation in Active Belts: Insights from GONG Data

Explore meridional circulation patterns in solar active belts using GONG data. Learn about removing active longitudes, depth dependence, yearly variations, and more. Confirming previous findings, this study highlights the significance of inflows in active region production.
