The solar surface represents for the solar dynamo an outer boundary that is directly accessible to observations. The evolutionary and rotational properties of the magnetic fields at this boundary can be empirically determined using existing synoptic magnetograph data. The derived properties provide detailed constraints on the underlying theory, such that an inversion approach to the dynamo problem becomes feasible. Ambiguities in the interpretation may be removed using the independent constraints from helioseismology.
