The basic features of the solar activity mechanism are explained in terms of the dynamo theory of mean magnetic fields. The field generation sources are the differential rotation and the mean helicity of turbulent motions in the convective zone. A nonlinear effect of the magnetic field upon the mean
The most sophisticated attempts to model the convection zone have yielded results in which the angular velocity increases outwards and the largest scales of convection take the form of 'banana cells' aligned with the rotation axis. However, not only does the sign of the angular velocity gradient pre
