A Model of the Geodynamo
Abstract
The problem of the generation of the geomagnetic field by convection in the Earth's core is considered. The complete hydromagnetic problem including the Lorentz force is solved in the case of a cylindrical configuration. Because of the dominant effect of rotation this configuration incorporates the essential features of the dynamo process in the Earth's core. The results show general agreement with the known properties of geomagnetism and the Earth's core. It is found that the toroidal field in the core is of the same order of magnitude as the poloidal field. This result is consistent with the basic assumption of theory that the Lorentz force is small compared to the Coriolis force.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
