Solitary dynamo waves
Long dynamo waves are a characteristic feature of interface dynamo models with spatially localized α and Ω effects. The evolution of such waves is described by the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation. Solutions to this equation take the form of solitary waves, breathers, and snoidal and cnoidal waves, and represent nonlinear waves of magnetic activity that migrate towards the equator, as observ...
متن کاملWaves, Coriolis Force and the Dynamo Effect
Dynamo activity caused by waves in a rotating magneto-plasma is investigated. In astrophysical environments such as accretion disks and at sufficiently small spatial scales, the Hall effect is likely to play an important role. It is shown that a combination of the Coriolis force and Hall effect can produce a finite α-effect by generating net helicity in the small scales. The shear/ion-cyclotron...
متن کاملGrowth variation, final height and secular trend
Growth and body height have always been interesting topics in the public opinion. Particularly the stupendous increase of some 15 to 19 cm in final adult height during the last 150 years in most European countries (the “secular trend”), the concomitant changes in body and head proportions, the tendency towards early onset of sexual maturation, the changes in the age when final height is being r...
متن کاملCompatibility of magnetic imprinting and secular variation
to reach sexual maturity [7] and is thus absent from its natal area for much longer than animals such as salmon and elephant seals [2,3]. Given this long absence, the Kemp’s ridley appears to be particularly susceptible to effects of secular variation if it relies on magnetic imprinting. The modeling results we report here show that the magnetic imprinting hypothesis can account for how the Kem...
متن کاملPolar branches of stellar activity waves: dynamo models and observations
Aims. Stellar activity data provide evidence of activity wave branches propagating polewards rather than equatorwards (the solar case). This evidence is especially pronounced for the well-observed subgiant HR 1099. Stellar dynamo theory allows polewards propagating dynamo waves for certain governing parameters. In this paper, we try to unite observations and theory. Methods. Taking into account...
