Solar dynamo <strong>an</strong>d variability<br />

Choudhuri Arnab<br />

The sunspot cycle is believed to be produced by a flux tr<strong>an</strong>sport dynamo, in which the<br />

toroidal field is produced from the poloidal field by stretching due to differential rotation, the<br />

poloidal field is produced by the Babcock-Leighton process <strong>an</strong>d the meridional circulation<br />

plays <strong>an</strong> import<strong>an</strong>t role. I shall survey the import<strong>an</strong>t developments in the flux tr<strong>an</strong>sport<br />

dynamo model <strong>an</strong>d then discuss how this model c<strong>an</strong> be applied to explain the irregularities of<br />

the sunspot cycle, leading to the possibility of predicting the strengths of future cycles.
