Sentence examples for maximum melt fraction from inspiring English sources
Therefore, the maximum melt fraction becomes smaller with increasing pressure, due to a larger proportion of garnet in the mantle peridotite.
We then obtained the maximum melt fraction from our method, for each pressure condition, and for the two different source fractions (Fig. 2).
The variation in chondritic 142Nd/144Nd ratios has little effect on the maximum melt fraction, but the timing of formation of the EER is delayed as chondritic 142Nd/144Nd increases, possibly up to 150 Myr after Solar System formation.
In these results, the maximum melt fractions become smaller at higher pressures.
In the case where the source region is limited to the upper-mantle region (X = 0.3), the maximum melt fractions are 2.7%% at 1 GPa, 2.6 % at 3 GPa, and 1.0 % at 7 GPa.
In the case where the source is the whole mantle (X = 1), the maximum melt fractions are 0.7%% at 1 GPa, 0.5 % at 3 GPa, and 0.2 % at 7 GPa, respectively.
Satellite instruments also observed melting ice over 265,000 square miles of the Greenland ice sheet, exceeding the previous maximum melt area by 9percentt.
(c) Melt fraction (in weight).
Melt fraction estimates are from Grove et al. (2012).
The melt fraction was most likely quite low (<2.6 %).
