Production of Sunspots and Their Effects on the Corona and Solar Wind: Insights from a New 3D Flux-Transport Dynamo Model

We present a three-dimensional numerical model for the generation and evolution of the magnetic field in the solar convection zone, in which sunspots are produced and contribute to the cyclic reversal of the large-scale magnetic field. We then assess the impact of this dynamo-generated field on the...
