Second, models of the thermal structure involving slab-induced convection show slab melting in the corner of the mantle wedge 80km from the trench.
If it does, a network of detectors could give us a more detailed picture of the thermal structure of the mantle.
Pedlosky has made fundamental contributions in the study of baroclinic instability and the thermal structure of the ocean, particularly the oceanic thermocline.
The thermal structure of a flame is complex, hundreds of degrees over very short distances leading to extremely steep temperature gradients.
The thermal structure, diurnal/semi-diurnal tides, and seasonal variations in the mesopause region may thus be studied.
It keeps dense stars in equilibrium independent of the thermal structure of the star.
Santer, B.D., et al, 1996: A search for human influences on the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
This in turn warrants the interpretation of the thermal structure for the deep Earth.
Flow in mantle wedges has important effects on the thermal structure, overall mantle circulation and melt within the wedge.
After listening to separate talks from Fred on plate tectonics, looking at the thermal structure of oceanic plates as they formed and cooled.
