Rossby vortices excited near the base of the solar convection zone are very appealing objects for interpretation of a number of solar phenomena such as long-lived large-scale magnetic structures, the poleward drift of the axisymmetric components after the polar field reversal, and a peculiar long-term behavior of the nonaxisymmetric components (Tikhomolov and Mordvinov 1996).
