Fig. 6

Zoom into two ridges at low-latitude of the time-average of a dynamo case with imposed CMB heat flux as in Fig. 5, with a positive heat flux anomaly to the east (left, where Fig. 5 is centered) and with a positive heat flux anomaly to the west (right). Non-dimensional velocity at the top of the free stream is shown in the top panel, non-dimensional magnetic field in the bottom panel. Radial components are in colors, tangential components in arrows.
