Abstract

The cyclic variations in the quadrupole component of the solar magnetic field is studied in tensor description. The results are consistent with the classical description of the quadrupole using spherical functions, and the mathematical apparatus of tensor algebra allows one to compare the observed changes in the magnetic quadrupole and the changes predicted by the dynamo theories. In conclusion, the quadrupole properties can be adequately described by solar dynamo models that assume deviations from the dipole symmetry without the independent excitation of the quadrupole symmetry modes.

张量中的太阳能四极杆说明

摘要

在张量描述中研究了四极分量太阳磁场的周期性变化。结果与使用球面函数对四极杆的经典描述是一致的，张量代数的数学装置使人们可以比较观察到的磁性四极杆的变化和发电机理论预测的变化。总之，四极性质可以通过太阳发电机模型来充分描述，该模型假定与偶极对称性存在偏差，而无需四极对称模式的独立激发。
