Mechanisms for magnetic field reversals.
We present a review of the different models that have been proposed to explain reversals of the magnetic field generated by a turbulent flow of an electrically conducting fluid (fluid dynamos). We then describe a simple mechanism that explains several features observed in palaeomagnetic records of the Earth's magnetic field, in numerical simulations and in a recent dynamo experiment. A similar ...
متن کاملAsymmetric Solar Polar Field Reversals
The solar polar fields reverse because magnetic flux from decaying sunspots moves towards the poles, with a preponderance of flux from the trailing spots. If there is a strong asymmetry in the sense that most activity is in the Northern Hemisphere, then that excess flux will move to the North Pole and reverse that pole first. If later on, there is more activity in the South, then that flux will...
متن کاملToroidal Flux Oscillations as Possible Causes of Geomagnetic Excursions and Reversals
It is proposed that convection driven dynamos operating in planetary cores could be oscillatory even when the oscillations are not directly noticeable from the outside. Examples of dynamo simulations are pointed out that exhibit oscillations in the structure of the azimuthally averaged toroidal magnetic flux while the mean poloidal field shows only variations in its amplitude. In the case of th...
متن کاملToroidal Solenoids in an Electromagnetic Field and Toroidal Aharonov - Casher Effect
Ahstract The quantum and classical equations are found which govern the motion of toroidal moments in an external magnetic field. The concrete realization of toroidal moments of higher multipolarities is given, and it is shown how the toroidal moments interact with each other. We recover the 3-dimensional analogue of the Aharonov-Casher effect. It turns out that the toroidal moments should exhi...
متن کاملComment on 'Second-Order Statistical Structure of Geomagnetic Field Reversals'
In a recent paper, Naidu [1975] has proposed that thereversal intervals of the geomagnetic field for the period 0-76 m.y. are not independent. In fact, the author has fitted a firstorder autoregressive moving average model to the data published by Heirtzler e~ a/. [1968]. This conclusion, if true, is of importance because it suggests that the mechanism governing the reversals of the geomagnetic...
