Core Processes: Earth's eccentric magnetic field

Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Earth’s magnetic field is characterized by a puzzling hemispheric asymmetry. Calculations of core dynamo processes suggest that lopsided growth of the planet’s inner core may be part of the cause.
