Solar cycle variability induced by tilt angle scatter in a Babcock–Leighton solar dynamo model

BB Karak, M Miesch - The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present results from a three-dimensional Babcock–Leighton (BL) dynamo model that is
sustained by the emergence and dispersal of bipolar magnetic regions (BMRs). On average …

Origin of grand minima in sunspot cycles

AR Choudhuri, BB Karak - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
One of the most striking aspects of the 11-year sunspot cycle is that there have been times in
the past when some cycles went missing, a most well-known example of this being the …
