Scientific paper

In this paper I discuss the importance of turbulence, rotation, penetration and shear for solar dynamos (both local and global). An understanding of these processes is vital for progress towards a self-consistent theory for the generation of solar magnetic activity. I discuss the difficulties for large-scale field generation and suggest that large-scale solar magnetic activity may be driven by dynamos that arise owing to instabilities, with these dynamos modified by the presence of turbulence.
