Solar Interior: Emerging Magnetic Flux Tubes
Abstract
The magnetic field observed in the photosphere and at higher levels of the solar atmosphere is generated in the convective envelope that extends along the first 200 000 km below the solar surface (see DYNAMOS: SOLAR AND STELLAR and SOLAR INTERIOR). To properly understand the solar magnetic cycle, it is necessary to explain the processes whereby the magnetic field, once generated, emerges across ...
