Helioseismology has enabled us to probe the internal structure and
dynamics of the Sun, including how its rotation varies in the solar
interior. The unexpected discovery of an abrupt transition - the
tachocline - between the differentially rotating convection zone
and the uniformly rotating radiative interior has generated
considerable interest and raised many fundamental issues. This
volume contains invited reviews from distinguished speakers at the
first meeting devoted to the tachocline, held at the Isaac Newton
Institute. It provides the only comprehensive account of the
current understanding of the properties and dynamics of the
tachocline, including both observational results and major
theoretical issues, involving both hydrodynamic and
magnetohydrodynamic behaviour. The Solar Tachocline is a valuable
reference for researchers and graduate students in astrophysics,
heliospheric physics and geophysics, and the dynamics of fluids and
plasmas.
