Dynamo action and the sun

M. Proctor

DAMTP, University of Cambridge, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge CB3 0WA, UK


Abstract
Solar magnetic fields are produced by dynamo action in or just below the solar convection zone. After an account of observations of solar magnetic activity, the fundamentals of dynamo theory are reviewed, and the ideas applied to a discussion of different models of dynamo action in the Sun.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
