Magnetic confinement in the solar interior
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 August 2011
Abstract
The observed uniform rotation of the Sun's radiative interior can be explained by the presence of a global-scale interior magnetic field, provided that the field remains confined below the convection zone. In high latitudes, such magnetic confinement is possible by means of persistent downwelling, driven by the convection zone's turbulent stresses.
