Abstract

In this section we discuss dynamo models that are used to explain the solar activity cycle. Any solar dynamo model should explain several observational features of solar activity: such as different solar cycles, polarity law, meridional flow, 22 year magnetic cycle etc. The basic ideas about an \(\alpha -\omega \) dynamo were already discussed in preceding chapters.
