Kinematic solar dynamo models with a deep meridional flow
We develop two different solar dynamo models to verify the hypothesis that a deep meridional flow can restrict the apperance of sunspots below 45 degrees, proposed by Nandy & Choudhuri (2002). In the first one, a single polytropic approximation for the density profile was taken, for both radiative and convective zones. In the second one, two polytropes were used to distinguish between both zone...
متن کاملThe effect of a meridional flow on Parker’s interface dynamo
Parker’s interface dynamo is generalized to the case when a homogeneous flow is present in the high-diffusivity (upper) layer in the lateral direction (i.e. perpendicular to the shear flow in the lower layer). This is probably a realistic first representation of the situation near the bottom of the solar convective zone, as the strongly subadiabatic stratification of the tachocline (lower layer...
متن کاملMHD theory of the solar tachocline with meridional flow
It has been shown that the best explanation for the formation of the tachocline is that of magnetic nature. We present here the first simulations of the solar tachocline, which self-consistently include the meridional circulation. We show that the meridional circulations significantly change the shape and the characteristics of the tachocline. We find that after the inclusion of the meridional ...
متن کاملA solar surface dynamo
Context. Observations indicate that the ‘quiet’ solar photosphere outside active regions contains considerable amounts of magnetic energy and magnetic flux, with mixed polarity on small scales. The origin of this flux is unclear. Aims. We test whether local dynamo action of the near-surface convection (granulation) can generate a significant contribution to the observed magnetic flux. Methods. ...
متن کاملSolar activity forecast with a dynamo model
Although systematic measurements of the Sun’s polar magnetic field exist only from mid-1970s, other proxies can be used to infer the polar field at earlier times. The observational data indicate a strong correlation between the polar field at a sunspot minimum and the strength of the next cycle, although the strength of the cycle is not correlated well with the polar field produced at its end. ...
