Understanding mechanisms underlying solar cycle predictability with a general framework
Binghang Li, Jie Jiang, Yukun Luo
The large-scale magnetic field observed at the solar surface is produced by the interior dynamo process. Whether this surface field also provides the dominant seed for the subseque…

Constraining the outer boundary condition for the Babcock-Leighton dynamo models
Yukun Luo, Jie Jiang, Binghang Li +2
The evolution of the Sun's large-scale surface magnetic field is well captured by surface flux transport models, which can therefore provide a natural constraint on the outer bound…

Minimal Roles of Solar Subsurface Meridional Flow in the distributed-shear Babcock-Leighton Dynamo
Jie Jiang, Zebin Zhang
The subsurface meridional flow has long been recognized as a critical factor in driving the solar cycle. Specifically, the equatorward return flow in the tachocline is widely belie…
