Spreading of the Indonesian Throughflow in the Indian Ocean* [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2004 The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) spreading pathways and time scales in the Indian Ocean are investigated using both observational data and two numerical tracer experiments, one being a three-dimensional Lagrangian trajectory experiment and the other a transit-time probability density function (PDF) tracer experiment, in an ocean general circulation ...

The Spread of Ocean Heat Uptake Efficiency Traced to Ocean Salinity
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 AbstractOcean heat uptake (OHU) plays an important role in determining the rate of surface warming under CO2 forcing. We examined the transient response to CO2 forcing in a set of 30 climate models from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and found that the intermodel spread in OHU efficiency largely depends on the base‐state ocean ...

THE STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF OCEANIC CORE COMPLEXES: A CONCEPT BASED ON ANALOG MODELING
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020 Oceanic core complexes are lithological assemblages of predominantly peridotites and serpentinites, located along intersections of some slow-spreading oceanic accreting rifts and fracture zones, embedded in the predominantly basaltic oceanic lithosphere,

Age, spreading rates, and spreading asymmetry of the world's ocean crust [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2008 We present four companion digital models of the age, age uncertainty, spreading rates, and spreading asymmetries of the world's ocean basins as geographic and Mercator grids with 2 arc min resolution. The grids include data from all the major ocean basins as well as detailed reconstructions of back‐arc basins.

Ignition of the southern Atlantic seafloor spreading machine without hot-mantle booster
Scientific Reports, 2023 The source of massive magma production at volcanic rifted margins remains strongly disputed since the first observations of thick lava piles in the 1980s.

Cerro prieto and its relation to the gulf of California spreading centers
Ciencias Marinas, 1996 The Cerro Prieto geothermal field is located in the Mexicali Valley, Baja California. Tectonically, this northern part of the Gulf of California has been classified as a spreading center, within a transitional area of oceanic to continental conditions ...

Comptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2023 In the 60s, the Hellenic belt was taken as the “Geosyncline model”. Here we take a modern look at this Hellenic/Aegean region which as a concentrate encompasses all the main geodynamic processes known in orogens.

Review of Asymmetric Seafloor Spreading and Oceanic Ridge Jumps in the South China Sea
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringSeafloor spreading is an important cornerstone of the theory of plate tectonics. Asymmetric seafloor spreading and oceanic ridge jumps are common phenomena in this process and play important roles in controlling oceanic crust accretion, regional ...
