We explain the generation of the large-scale unipolar magnetic field regions (global magnetic regions) by the same dynamo action as for the generation of the sunspots and the polar faculae butterfly diagrams as given by Callebaut (2006). The previous global magnetic regions through meridional circulation now serve as the main seed fields (flux-transport dynamo for the global field regions), possibly supplemented by leftovers from the sunspots and some weak fields generated at the tachocline.
