= Interface solar dynamo
An interface solar dynamo separates the region of strong differential rotation from the region of poloidal-field regeneration, often placing shear near the <tachocline> and an <alpha effect> in the convection zone. Magnetic transport across the interface couples the two regions. The separation can provide toroidal-flux storage in a relatively stable layer, but growth, period and migration depend on the transport, diffusivity contrast, and signs of the regeneration and shear coefficients.
