Transfer of angular momentum in the protoplanetary cloud by meridional currents

;
It is shown that the axisymmetric motions produced by meridional circulation and the Goldreich-Schubert instability cannot provide the required transfer of angular momentum in a nonturbulized protoplanetary cloud. More efficient momentum transfer can be expected in a cloud with developed turbulence or convection, taking into account the possibility of the generation of a large-scale magnetic field or large-scale motions.
