Movie of magnetic field at the surface of the Earth's core, together with axisymmetric part of magnetic field (B) and velocity field (U) within the shell.
Fields are extracted from a high resolution simulation of the geodynamo employing spherical harmonics up to degree 1000 and more than 1000 radial levels.
The Ekman number is E=nu/(D^2.Omega) = 10^(-7) and the magnetic Prandtl number is Pm=nu/eta=0.1
