Solar physics

a model of the solar cycle in which decaying tilted sunspot regions regenerate the Sun's poloidal field, which differential rotation then winds into new toroidal field.

In solar physics, Babcock-Leighton model refers to a model of the solar cycle in which decaying tilted sunspot regions regenerate the Sun's poloidal field, which differential rotation then winds into new toroidal field. This meaning comes from Babcock (1961) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
