Figure 3

Plot A from the long run of 4 000 tick timesteps. The Blue line shows the north polar field, the south polar field (Red line), and total polar field (Black line) offset by 60 (lowered), to minimize interference with the individual polar fields. This creates the axis at the bottom to be the abscissa of this plot, so that the lowest field magnitudes near 3000 ticks reach near zero value. The individual tick marks at the bottom of this plot display the computer calculated polar field maxima. A quiet period at ≈3000 tick s can be seen, reminiscent of a Maunder type minimum. One can also see the typical chaotic nature of the solar cycles calculated with this model.
