We present calculations showing how stable nonaxisymmetric magnetic fields may be excited in an alpha-quenched mean field dynamo in a deep spherical shell. The large scale velocity fields (differential rotation, meridional circulation) are determined by solving the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equation, neglecting the Lorentz force but including a term parameterizing the turbulent Reynolds stresses.
