- Title
Spatiotemporal sunspot impulses and reversal of the polar magnetic field on the sun.

- Abstract
The spatiotemporal organization of sunspots in the form of activity impulses (according to Gnevyshev’s terminology) is considered as a source of poleward magnetic surges of new polarity. Polar fields in the northern and southern hemispheres have been reconstructed from 1875 to 2012. An increase in the tilt angle of magnetic bipoles with latitude is a crucial parameter in the proposed model to reverse the polar field on the Sun. The role of the surface meridional flow forming magnetic surges of new and old polarities is discussed. It is shown that the velocity and the latitudinal profile of the flow influence the modeled polar field.
