Summary of the transitions from antisolar-like to solar-like differential rotation and between predominantly axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric large-scale fields from observations and our simulations as a function of increasing Coriolis number.
| Transition | Observations | Simulations | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Co |  |
Co | |
| Antisolar/solar-like DR | ≈1 | ≈6 | 1.8 | 3 |
| Axi/nonaxisymmetric | 3–5 | 13–25 | 1.8 | 3 |
| Return to axisymmetry | ||||
| (low-res, high Co) | 15–22 | 37–83 | ||
Notes. Observations refer to Lehtinen et al. (2016) for the nonaxisymmetric to axisymmetric transition and to Brandenburg & Giampapa (2018) for the antisolar-like to solar-like transition using the semi-empirical τc values from Noyes et al. (1984).
