Relations among subduction parametersReviews of Geophysics - Tập 24 Số 2 - Trang 217-284 - 1986
Richard D. Jarrard
Clues to the dynamics of the subduction process are found in the many measurable parameters of modern subduction zones. Based on a critical appraisal of the geophysical and geological literature, 26 parameters are estimated for each of 39 modern subduction zones. To isolate causal relationships among these parameters, multivariate analysis is applied to this data set. This analysis yields ...... hiện toàn bộ
Recent advances in understanding secondary organic aerosol: Implications for global climate forcingReviews of Geophysics - Tập 55 Số 2 - Trang 509-559 - 2017

AbstractAnthropogenic emissions and land use changes have modified atmospheric aerosol concentrations and size distributions over time. Understanding preindustrial conditions and changes in organic aerosol due to anthropogenic activities is important because these features (1) influence estimates of aerosol radiative forcing and (2) can confound estimates of the hi...... hiện toàn bộ
The physics of debris flowsReviews of Geophysics - Tập 35 Số 3 - Trang 245-296 - 1997
Richard M. Iverson
Recent advances in theory and experimentation motivate a thorough reassessment of the physics of debris flows. Analyses of flows of dry, granular solids and solid‐fluid mixtures provide a foundation for a comprehensive debris flow theory, and experiments provide data that reveal the strengths and limitations of theoretical models. Both debris flow materials and dry granular materials can s...... hiện toàn bộ
Convectively coupled equatorial wavesReviews of Geophysics - Tập 47 Số 2 - 2009
George N. Kiladis, Matthew C. Wheeler, Patrick T. Haertel, Katherine H. Straub, Paul E. Roundy
Convectively coupled equatorial waves (CCEWs) control a substantial fraction of tropical rainfall variability. Their horizontal structures and dispersion characteristics correspond to Matsuno's (1966) solutions of the shallow water equations on an equatorial beta plane, namely, Kelvin, equatorial Rossby, mixed Rossby‐gravity, and inertio‐gravity waves. Because of moist processes, the tilte...... hiện toàn bộ
Global scale, physical models of the F region ionospereReviews of Geophysics - Tập 27 Số 3 - Trang 371-403 - 1989
J. J. Sojka
During the last decade, ionospheric F region modeling has reached an accurate climatological level. We now have global computer models of the F region which simulate the interactions between physical processes in the ionosphere. Because of their complexity, these climatological models are confined to modern day supercomputers. This revi...... hiện toàn bộ
Stagnant slabs in the upper and lower mantle transition regionReviews of Geophysics - Tập 39 Số 3 - Trang 291-323 - 2001
Yoshio Fukao, Sri Widiyantoro, Masayuki Obayashi
We made a region‐by‐region examination of subducted slab images along the circum‐Pacific for some of the recent global mantle tomographic models, specifically for two high‐resolution P velocity models and two long‐wavelength S velocity models. We extracted the slab images that are most consistent among different models. We found that su...... hiện toàn bộ
Gabbro‐eclogite reaction rate and its geophysical significanceReviews of Geophysics - Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 383-400 - 1975
Thomas J. Ahrens, G. Schubert
The gabbro‐garnet granulite‐eclogite transformation may play a significant role in driving the motions of terrestrial lithospheric plates. Whether or not this transformation is in fact important as a driving mechanism for plate tectonics depends on the relationship of the reaction time to geologic time. Solid state diffusion under completely dry conditions is investigated as a possible mod...... hiện toàn bộ
