A theoretical model of torsional oscillations from a flux transport dynamo model
Abstract
Assuming that the torsional oscillation is driven by the Lorentz force of the magnetic field associated with the sunspot cycle, we use a flux transport dynamo to model it and explain its initiation at a high latitude before the beginning of the sunspot cycle.
