Possible explanations of the Maunder minimum from a flux transport dynamo model
arXiv:1101.4342 · doi:10.1017/S1743921311015705
Abstract
We propose that at the beginning of the Maunder minimum the poloidal field or amplitude of meridional circulation or both fell abruptly to low values. With this proposition, a flux transport dynamo model is able to reproduce various important aspects of the historical records of the Maunder minimum remarkably well.
