Electrical conductivity structure drives anomalous and potentially time-varying magnetic fields at Uranus and Neptune

Abstract Uranus and Neptune exhibit magnetic fields that are non-dipolar and non-axisymmetric, unlike those of any other known planet. These fields are generated by fluid motions in electrically conducting planetary interiors via dynamo action, offering a window into otherwise in...
