Scientific paper

The structure of the self-consistent MHD boundary layers surrounding the liquid inner core of the earth is determined. It is shown that this structure is governed by the latitude and the radial component of the large-scale magnetic field at the boundary. From an analysis of the boundary magnetic field it was found that the core-crust boundary layer is significantly thickened in the narrow near-equator zone. Estimates are made of the scale and the characteristic values of the magnetic fields outside and inside the boundary layers.
