A statistical model of reversals in the geodynamo
I study a simple model of a turbulent dynamo. Using a combination of analytic solutions and scaling arguments I derive a set of governing equations that describe the evolution of the magnetic field. This simplified system predicts behaviour which is qualitatively similar to that seen in the Earth�...
