Latitude distribution of the solar convective zone rotation rate is studied by expanding it in a complete system of orthogonal modes (both symmetric and asymmetric relative to the equator). We find the solution to the problem of determination of the rotation rate of using helioseismic data available for the latitudes of $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ }$, and $60^{\circ}$ of one (for instance, the northern) hemisphere. The pole, $90^{\circ}$, will also be included into the above latitude list for the reason to be disclosed below. It is known that any rotation rate can always be represented by an expansion in a complete system of orthogonal vector spherical harmonics with a zero superscript (see, e.g., Varshalovich et al. 1988).To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
