Summary edit
| Description |
English: Estimated field and flow within the core in 2015. Volume visualization of the estimated magnetic field and flow within Earth's core in 2015 from a numerical geodynamo 31 model forward run initialized with an inferred core state 22 for 2010. Orange and blue contours show the intensity of the radial magnetic field, azimuthally averaged in a meridional plane within the shell, and at the core surface in the inset. The red and dark blue iso-surfaces are of constant axial flow velocity and illustrate intense columnar convection at the eastern meridional limb of the gyre, as also seen in the inset core surface flow plot. Field lines within the shell have thickness proportional to their magnetic energy. The inner core is black and the core–mantle boundary is transparent. The 3D view faces longitude 90° E, with a cutaway between 90° and 180° E. |
