Planetary magnetic fields and fluid dynamos
CA Jones - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - annualreviews.org
The magnetic fields of the planets, including the Earth, are generated by dynamo action in
their fluid cores. Numerical models of this process have been developed that solve the …

Longitudinal structure of Earth's magnetic field controlled by lower mantle heat flow
Thermal interactions between Earth's core and mantle provide the power that maintains the
geomagnetic field. However, the effect of these interactions and, in particular, the …

Geomagnetic jerks: rapid core field variations and core dynamics
The secular variation of the core field is generally characterized by smooth variations,
sometimes interrupted by abrupt changes, named geomagnetic jerks. The origin of these …

[HTML][HTML] A dynamo model of Jupiter's magnetic field
CA Jones - Icarus, 2014 - Elsevier
Jupiter's dynamo is modelled using the anelastic convection-driven dynamo equations. The
reference state model is taken from French et al.[2012]. Astrophys. J. Suppl. 202, 5,(11pp) …

Quasi-geostrophic flows responsible for the secular variation of the Earth's magnetic field
We present core flows constructed from high resolution secular variation (SV) models for the
epochs 2001, 2002.5 and 2004, assuming that these flows are quasi-geostrophic in the core …

A reduced stochastic model of core surface dynamics based on geodynamo simulations
We make use of recent geodynamo simulations to propose a reduced stochastic model of
the dynamics at the surface of Earth's core. On decadal and longer periods, this model …
