✦ Synopsis

The external field of the solar magnetohydrodynamic dynamo is expressed in terms of spherical harmonics and in powers of 1/r. The non-symmetric dynamo is stabilized by a q~-dependent rotational oscillation which interacts with the magnetic field, thus compensating for Ohmic loss. As a consequence, the axis of a dipole wave is found to move on a great circle, with revolution time equal to the magnetic cycle.
