  Recent results indicate that the Babcock-Leighton mechanism for poloidal
field creation plays an important role in the solar cycle. However, modelling
this mechanism has not always correctly captured the underlying physics. In
particular, it has been demonstrated that using a spatially distributed
near-surface alpha-effect to parametrize the Babcock-Leighton mechanism
generates results which do not agree with observations. Motivated by this, we
are developing a physically more consistent model of the solar cycle in which
we model poloidal field creation by the emergence and flux dispersal of
double-rings structures. Here we present preliminary results from this new
dynamo model.
