Influence of simple and complex non-axisymmetric background magnetic fields on the propagation of QG MC waves

Olivier Barrois, Julien Aubert

Magneto-Coriolis (QG-MC) waves are considered an important part of the rapid dynamics of the Earth's outer core. The detailed characteristics of these waves are however still under…

Characterisation of hydromagnetic waves propagating over a steady, non-axisymmetric background magnetic field

Olivier Barrois, Julien Aubert

Motivated by recent observations of rapid (interannual) signals in the geomagnetic data, and by advances in numerical simulations approaching the Earth's outer core conditions, we…

Quasi-geostrophic convection-driven dynamos in a thick spherical shell

Olivier Barrois, Thomas Gastine, Christopher C. Finlay

We present dynamos computed using a hybrid QG-3D numerical scheme in a thick spherical shell geometry. Our model is based on a quasi-geostrophic convection code extended with a 3D…

Contributions to the geomagnetic secular variation from a reanalysis of core surface dynamics

Olivier Barrois, Nicolas Gillet, Julien Aubert

We invert for motions at the surface of Earth's core under spatial and temporal constraints that depart from the mathematical smoothings usually employed to ensure spectral converg…

Assimilation of ground and satellite magnetic measurements: inference of core surface magnetic and velocity field changes

Olivier Barrois, Magnus D. Hammer, Christopher C. Finlay +2

We jointly invert for magnetic and velocity fields at the core surface over the period 1997-2017, directly using ground-based observatory time series and measurements from the CHAM…

Comparison of Quasi-Geostrophic, Hybrid and 3D models of planetary core convection

Olivier Barrois, Thomas Gastine, Christopher C. Finlay

We present investigations of rapidly-rotating convection in a thick spherical shell geometry relevant to planetary cores, comparing results from Quasi-Geostrophic, 3D and hybrid QG…
