Description
The surface of the Sun is covered by continuously emerging
and evolving ``magnetic carpet''. I will present results of
realistic numerical simulations showing that the magnetic
carpet can result from the turbulent dynamo operating in a
shallow subsurface layer. The simulation results reveal
details of the dynamo mechanism and formation of small-scale
magnetic structures.
