Wednesday, January 24, 2018

Mausumi Dikpati presents a nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic shallow-water model for the solar tachocline (MHD-SWT) that generates quasi-periodic tachocline nonlinear oscillations (TNOs) that can be identified with the recently discovered solar 'seasons'.

Magnetic Buoyancy and Rotational Instabilities in the Tachocline

Instability domains in low and middle latitudes
Wednesday, January 17, 2018

Peter Gilman presents results from an analytical model for magnetic buoyancy and ro­tational instabilities in a full spherical shell tachocline that includes rotation. differential rotation close to that observed helioseismicly, and toroidal field.
