Solar Magnetic Field, Solar Variability

Scientific paper

The solar magnetic field is variable on all temporal and spatial scales which are accessible to observation. Convective motions and magnetic flux interact on timescales of minutes (granulation) to days (supergranulation) while the evolution of active regions and the global transport of magnetic flux on the solar surface takes place on timescales ranging from days to years. The solar activity cycle and its long-term modulation vary on scales of decades to centuries. This contribution gives a brief overview about what is known about solar magnetic variability and what is our present understanding of the underlying physics. In addition, a simple model for the secular variation of the magnetic flux on the solar surface since the Maunder minimum is presented.
