A Critical Assessment of the Flux Transport Dynamo
Arnab Rai Choudhuri
TL;DR
This paper critically evaluates the flux transport dynamo model for the solar cycle, highlighting its strengths in explaining solar phenomena and discussing its limitations in light of recent observational data.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive assessment of the flux transport dynamo model, addressing its capabilities and challenges based on current observational evidence.
Findings
The model explains regular and irregular solar cycle features.
Recent data on meridional circulation pose challenges to the model.
The model remains viable within observational constraints.
Abstract
We first discuss how the flux transport dynamo with reasonably high diffusion can explain both the regular and the irregular features of the solar cycle quite well. Then we critically examine the inadequacies of the model and the challenge posed by some recent observational data about meridional circulation, arriving at the conclusion that this model can still work within the bounds of observational data
