Table 3 Identified roots: detection fraction in percentage of roots at mid-depth of the intense magnetic flux patches at the top of the shell reported by Peña et al. (2016) in each dynamo model

From: Deep magnetic field stretching in numerical dynamos

Model	Total	HN	LN	LR
1	82.4	77.5	100	80
2	65.3	70.8	40	57.9
3	60.6	60.7	–	60
4	44.4	55.2	0	0
5	71.4	80	0	0
6	62.5	64.5	66.7	50
7	85.2	95.2	66.7	33.3
8	38.7	37.9	–	50
9	20	15.4	25	40

The detected roots are classified on the basis of the latitudes of the magnetic flux patches on the outer boundary: high-latitude normal intense flux patches (HN), low-latitude normal intense flux patches (LN), and low-latitude reversed flux patches (LR)
