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 a comprehensive account of the 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.
