The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Conditions for Earth-like geodynamo models (2010, background): “In previous models that aimed at reaching a very low Ekman number (Jones, 2007; Sakuraba and Roberts, 2009; Takahashi et al., 2008) the magnetic Reynolds number has been fairly small because of computational limitations.”
Quasi-geostrophic flows responsible for the secular variation of the Earth's magnetic field (2008, background): “This result can be explained in the light of a dynamical regime controlled by rotation, by stressing that the rapid change in length of columns that cross the TC requires a strongly ageostrophic motion of which there would be no source mechanism (Jones , 2007).”
