5. the Mean Meridional Circulation
(3) Here the square brackets denote zonal means, RΤ is the net radiation at the top of the atmosphere, and a time average has been used to eliminate the tendency term. Eq. (3) expresses the requirement of total energy balance for a “ring” of air along a latitude circle. By further integration of (3) with respect to latitude, we can obtain the meridional energy transport by the atmosphere, with ...
متن کاملKinematic 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 کاملZonal flows in a mean-field solar dynamo model
Cyclic variations are observed in the solar differential rotation profile. The 11 year periodicity of these zonal shear flows (often referred to as “torsional oscillations”) is consistent with the idea that they are driven by the Lorentz forces that are associated with the large-scale solar dynamo. This suggests that these flows may be able to provide indirect observational evidence that can be...
متن کاملGrand Minima of Solar Activity and the Mean-Field Dynamo
We demonstrate that a simple solar dynamo model, in the form of a Parker migratory dynamo with random fluctuations of the dynamo governing parameters and algebraic saturation of dynamo action, can at least qualitatively reproduce all the basic features of solar Grand Minima as they are known from direct and indirect data. In particular, the model successfully reproduces such features as an abru...
متن کاملMeridional Circulation and the Solar Magnetic Cycle
The Sun’s magnetic cycle manifests itself in an year periodic variation in the number of sunspots seen on the solar surface and a periodic reversal in the polarity of its large-scale magnetic fields. Exploring the origins of this magnetic cycle can unravel the physical mechanisms at work in the interior of magnetized stars like the Sun. Such studies are also important for understanding how the ...
