Abstract
Approximate expressions are derived for the perturbations in solar p- and f -mode oscillation eigenfunctions, due to large-scale, meridional flows whic h are symmetric about the equator. The essential signature of the perturbed eigenfunctions in global helioseismic data is derived and the prospects fo r detecting meridional flow using global seismic techniques are discussed.
