ad Direct calculations and parameterizations of the Lorentz to Coriolis force ratio in our simulations. Lorentz to Coriolis force ratios as a function of Rayleigh number for five Ekman numbers and five magnetic Prandtl numbers. The modified dynamic Elsasser number includes the length scale pre-factor: \(\Lambda _{d}^{*} = 0.77 \Lambda _{i} Rm^{-1/2}\). The Rayleigh numbers corresponding to \({Ro}_{c}=\sqrt {Ra E^{2}/Pr}=1\) are denoted on the top axes
