Time series for a run with same parameters as Run J of Table 2, but different initial conditions, showing a transient, rather than a quasi-stationary α²Ω regime. Top left: rms values of and to be associated with the α²Ω (black) and the α² mode (red). Note the lack of a well defined phase with a dominating, but declining α²Ω mode. Top right: butterfly diagram of , showing the traveling dynamo wave during the kinematic phase only, but later merely fluctuations. Bottom: components of .
