“…Nevertheless, subsequent progress in modeling the solar dynamo appears to have been suspended until the foundations of a mean-field treatment of the induction equation were developed by Steenbeck et al, (1966). In the following years, a large number of models were computed covering mostly aspects of the solar dynamo (Steenbeck & Krause, 1969a;Parker, 1970a;Parker, 1970b;Parker, 1970c;Parker, 1971b;Parker, 1971d; Simulations of astrophysical dynamos 403 1971f), but in some cases also terrestrial dynamos (Steenbeck & Krause, 1969b;Parker, 1971c) and the galactic dynamo (Parker, 1971a;Parker, 1971e;Vainshtein & Ruzmaikin, 1971;Vainshtein & Ruzmaikin, 1972).…”
