Figure 2

Diagnostics of the dynamo models vs. the outer boundary heat flux anomaly amplitude \(q^*\). The local Rossby number \(Ro_\ell\) (13) is in black. The size of the symbols is proportional to the dipolarity \(f_{dip}\) (15). The ratio between the RMS azimuthal component of the inertial force at \(r/r_o=0.95\) outside/inside regions where \(\delta q > \frac{1}{2} \delta q_{max}\) (1718) is in red. The ratio between the RMS radial velocity at \(r/r_o=0.95\) inside/outside regions where \(\delta q < \frac{1}{2} \delta q_{min}\) (1920) is in blue. Error bars denote temporal variability.
