Starting from the ideal MHD equations written in spherical coordinates, using the regular perturbation method, quasiheliostrophic equations are derived as generalisation of quasigeostrophic models for atmospheric flow. From the fourth order momentum and induction equations, two prognostic equations for the stream function and magnetic flux function are derived. The magnetohydrodynamic model based on these equations is a suitable framework for describing the interaction between large-scale dynamic and magnetic features and the presence of specific patterns like active longitudes in the solar activity cycle.
