Manifestations of Solar Magnetic Fields

Abstract: Abstract. The magnetism of the Sun manifests itself in innumerable ways, many of which constitute what is referred to as solar magnetic activity, while others are counted among the phenomena of the quiet Sun. After a brief overview of the structure of the solar magnetic field, a few examples of its manifestations are pointed out.

“…[17] (a) (b) Elsasser, the differential rotation alone is not capable of driving a dynamo in a sphere unless the magnetic diffusivity is constant on spherical surfaces [21], [22]. Because of these restrictions, a complex three-dimensional structure of the generated magnetic field and non-axisymmetric structure of driving velocity field are required for a working dynamo [23]. As the rotation of the Sun is differential, the angular velocity at the equator is found to be 20% faster as compared to that as of the poles.…”

“…As the rotation of the Sun is differential, the angular velocity at the equator is found to be 20% faster as compared to that as of the poles. The differential rotation and convective flows are the two vital components of the self-exciting solar dynamo action [23]. The generation and amplification of the magnetic field from a meridional field with radial and latitudinal components is caused by the shearing effect of latitudinal and radial gradients of the angular velocity of rotation which arises because of flux freezing.…”
