The need for active region disconnection in 3D kinematic dynamo simulations
T. Whitbread, A. R. Yeates, A. Muñoz-Jaramillo
In this paper we address a discrepancy between the surface flux evolution in a 3D kinematic dynamo model and a 2D surface flux transport model that has been closely calibrated to t…
How many active regions are necessary to predict the solar dipole moment?
T. Whitbread, A. R. Yeates, A. Muñoz-Jaramillo
We test recent claims that the polar field at the end of Cycle 23 was weakened by a small number of large, abnormally oriented regions, and investigate what this means for solar cy…
Parameter optimization for surface flux transport models
T. Whitbread, A. R. Yeates, A. Muñoz-Jaramillo +1
Accurate prediction of solar activity calls for precise calibration of solar cycle models. Consequently we aim to find optimal parameters for models which describe the physical pro…
