Abstract
Abstract. Inversion of the magnetic field in a large-scale model of αΩ-dynamo with nonlocal α-effect is under the investigation. The model allows us to reproduce the main features of the geomagnetic field reversals. It was established that the polarity intervals in the model are distributed according to the power law. Model magnetic polarity time scale is fractal. Its dimension is consistent with the dimension of the real geomagnetic polarity time scale.
