The observational evidence suggests that the turbulent component of the solar dynamo has a significant impact on the generation of solar flares, especially during the second peak and descending phase of a solar cycle. These irregular active regions contribute more to the flaring, indicating a pronounced influence of the turbulent component during specific phases of the solar cycle. This is in line with the concept of the essential role of non-linearities and turbulent intermittence in magnetic fields generation inside the convective zone.
It is a challenging problem to obtain observational evidence of the turbulent component of solar dynamo operating in the convective zone because the dynamo action is hidden below the photosphere. Here we present results of a statistical study of flaring active regions (ARs) that produced strong solar flares of an X-ray class X1.0 and higher during a time period that covered solar cycles 23 and 24. We introduced a magneto-morphological classification of ARs, which allowed us to estimate the possible contribution of the turbulent component of the dynamo into the structure of an AR. We found that in 72 per cent of cases, flaring ARs do not comply with the empirical laws of the global dynamo (frequently they are not bipolar ARs or, if they are, they violate the Bale polarity law, the Joy law, or the leading sunspot prevalence rule). This can be attributed to the influence of the turbulent dynamo action inside the convective zone on spatial scales of typical ARs. Thus, it appears that the flaring is governed by the turbulent component of the solar dynamo. The contribution into the flaring from these AR 'violators' (irregular ARs) is enhanced during the second maximum and the descending phase of a solar cycle, when the toroidal field weakens and the influence of the turbulent component becomes more pronounced. These observational findings are in consensus with a concept of the essential role of non-linearities and turbulent intermittence in the magnetic fields generation inside the convective zone, which follows from dynamo simulations.
