Inconsistencies such as this occur if the land-ocean distribution has been set independently between the two models.
Finally, using the 3-D earth's model including the complicated land-ocean distribution and bathymetry, we examined the coastal effect on GIE at the frequency of 0.001 Hz.
Finally, a better test of the differences (in terms of testing the ocean conductivity distribution assumed rather than common integration limits) is in comparing the depth-averaged conductivity and its gradients (as shown in Additional file 3: Supporting Information).
In a bit of cruel irony, as Antarctica's ice falls into the ocean, the distribution of sea level changes could actually hit the world's largest cumulative contributor to climate change — the United States — harder than elsewhere.
The modern Earth continental arrangement is used for the land and ocean spatial distribution.
In addition, regional differences due to variation in ocean temperature, distribution of melt water over the oceans, and – in some studies – tectonic subsidence contribute to differences between the scenario studies.
As described in "Introduction" section, a weakness in previously assumed ocean conductivity distributions was the difficulty in assessing the realism or associated errors in the estimates.
Although siboglinids are found within all of the world's major oceans, the distribution and genetic structure of certain lineages is poorly constrained.
The apparent fit of the bulge of eastern South America into the bight of Africa, magnetic stripes on the ocean floors, earthquake distribution, paleomagnetic data, and various other observations are now regarded as natural consequences of a single plate-tectonics model.
Future studies that intentionally continue to use idealized or ocean model conductivity distributions may also now draw from the statistics and data provided here.
