Title
Flux-transport solar dynamos
Abstract
Large-scale solar dynamo models were first built by Parker (1955). Over the past half a century these models have evolved significantly. We discuss here the development of a class of large-scale dynamo models which include, along with the α-effect and Ω-effect, an important third process, flux transport by meridional circulation. We present the properties of this 'flux-transport' dynamo, including the crucial role meridional circulation plays in giving this dynamo predictive power.
