Long-term variation in the Sun's magnetic output also influences planetary atmospheres and climate through modulation of solar irradiance. Here, I summarize the current state of understanding of this magnetic cycle, highlighting important observational constraints, detailing the kinematic dynamo modeling approach and commenting on future prospects.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-10-26T07:44:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dynamo models", "solar cycle", "current trends", "magnetic cycle", "suns magnetic output" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 943211, "adsabs": "2011ASInC...2...91N" } } }
