摘要
It is shown that the average meridional velocities of sunspot groups linearly depend on their average longitudinal velocities (solar rotation) with a high correlation coefficient of -0.95. The relationship differs for small, short-lived and large, long-lived groups. The meridional motions of sunspots do not have any pronounced global distribution law with latitude, but depend on their individual longitudinal velocities in a rotating coordinate system close to the Carrington one. The found relations indicate that the Coriolis force may play a role in driving the meridional motions of sunspot groups.
