Asymmetric Solar Polar Field Reversals
The solar polar fields reverse because magnetic flux from decaying sunspots moves towards the poles, with a preponderance of flux from the trailing spots. If there is a strong asymmetry in the sense that most activity is in the Northern Hemisphere, then that excess flux will move to the North Pole a...
