$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=7.2cm,clip]{3250fg2.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 2: Equatorial rotation rate versus time (in deg/day), for CT derived from the Legendre polynomial fit (solid line), for CT derived from the $\sin^i(\theta)$ fit (dashed line), for FT derived from the $\sin^i(\theta)$ fit (dotted-dashed line). The dotted curve is the same as the dashed line shifted by 0.17 deg/day so as to match approximately the FT curve around solar minimum.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=7.4cm,clip]{3250fg3.ps}\end{figure}$ Figure 3: Top: Legendre polynomial versus latitude, for degree 1 (solid line), degree 2 (dotted line), degree 3 (dashed line), and degree 4 (dotted-dashed line). Middle: symmetrical part of the Legendre polynomial fit difference $\Omega _{\rm min}-\Omega _{\rm max}$ between cycle minimum and cycle maximum for CT (solid line) and FT (dashed line), with $\Omega$ the symmetrical part of the Legendre polynomial fit of the rotation rate versus latitude. Bottom: antisymmetrical part of the Legendre polynomial fit for CT at cycle minimum (solid line) and cycle maximum (dotted-dashed line).
