The effect of anisotropic transport of the mean magnetic field by turbulence in a stratified rotating fluid is briefly discussed to find its qualitative correspondence to the observed field redistribution over a solar cycle. A kinematic model of a dynamo in a spherical shell is developed with the transport effect included to assess its importance in a more consistent way. The anisotropic transport brings the simulated field behavior closer to that observed on the Sun.
