    Paleo reversals and the dynamo effect

    Interesting, i guess the question that i am asking is, is there a correlation with the suns activity, ie sun has an 11 year cycle of reversals, however this is too shorter time scale. Do you know of any other cycles? or could it be related to something such as impact affecting the fields...

    Paleo reversals and the dynamo effect

    Hi Andre, Maybe there wouldn't need to be a correlation, because the changes in the near Earth conditions, may be enough to exite a polarity change, but not enough to drastically alter the climate. I understand that the recent increased activity has distorted the magnetosphere so that the...

    Planetary Magnetic Feild Inversion

    [You're going to have to rewrite this for me because I can't make heads or tails of it. Yeah sorry, i was getting ahead of myself and rambling a bit. "What are "dipole assumptions" about the outer core? " I think, but am not sure, that for the simulation to work there are some...

    Paleo reversals and the dynamo effect

    Hi Andre, Thanks for the material. Since you state that you still don't get it, i can't be explaining myself very well, I don't dispute the models to date, as achieving part of the explination as to the existence of the dynamo, i am just thinking that maybe we don't have to think about how...

    Paleo reversals and the dynamo effect

    Hi Andre, The Glatzmaier model has assisted the understanding of how the dynamo may function, but predicts a reversal period of 100,000y, also that the inner core rotates with twice the period as measured by seismic data. In addition, the basis is chaotic flow around the inner core, and...

    Paleo reversals and the dynamo effect

    Hi, I am exploring a theory and would like your initial reaction to it. The latest research unfortunately I do not have access to however I think there may be an easier way to understand the magnetism created by the Earth dynamo by realising that it is simply the sum of all the dynamos...

    Planetary Magnetic Feild Inversion

    pole reverslas Nice question, i think you are on the same track as me, but i think you kmiss an essential element. Let us not discuss the dynamos operating within earth, the key rebuttal to most modern dynamo theory is that moving the pole from N/S to S/N requires a wholesale restructuring...
