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.
