Descripción
We show that cyclic activity and Maunder-type grand minima can be
explained by a dynamo driven by the instability of magnetic flux tubes
in the overshoot layer at the bottom of the solar convection zone. The
combination of a threshold in field strength for dynamo action and
random fluctuations due to magnetic fields from the turbulent convection
zone leads to activity cycles with strong amplitude variations and the
occasional appearance of grand minima.
