The exploration of the path in parameter space to Earth’s core continues, and the next stop is at 71 percent along the road. 246 million simulation time steps and 15 million CPU hours spent over the course of two years were necessary to complete this new model, where we explore the coexistence and interaction of slow convection and rapid hydromagnetic waves in Earth’s core.
