Applying modern techniques of time series analysis, there are serious indications that the dynamics of the global solar activity is a low dimensional chaos. A simple non-linear dynamo model is qualitatively studied exhibiting a rich dynamical behaviour from steady state via some bifurcation to a chaotic regime.
