Arguments for and against the widely accepted picture of a solar dynamo being seated in the tachocline are reviewed and alternative ideas concerning dynamos operating in the bulk of the convection zone, or perhaps even in the near-surface shear layer, are discussed. Based on the angular velocities of magnetic tracers it is argued that the observations are compatible with a distributed dynamo that may be strongly shaped by the near-surface shear layer. Direct simulations of dynamo action in a slab with turbulence and shear are presented to discuss filling factor and tilt angles of bipolar regions in such a model.

Connecting mean-field theory with dynamo simulations
Mean-field dynamo models reproduce the large-scale magnetic modes of 3D simulations at least qualitatively, but quantitative closure remains incomplete because transport coefficients are hard to measure and non-locali...
