Magnetorotational Instability in a Solar Near-surface Mean-field Dynamo

We address the question whether the magnetorotational instability (MRI) can operate in the near-surface shear layer (NSSL) of the Sun and how it affects the interaction with the dynamo process. Using hydromagnetic mean-field simulations of α Ω-type dynamos in rotating shearing-periodic boxes, we sho...
