Sentence examples for slab ocean from inspiring English sources

In all runs, the land surface and the slab ocean model were initialized using the NCEP FNL.

This detailed SST distribution is now available to us as we investigate the causes and sensitivities of early Paleogene climate in fixed SST and slab ocean modeling experiments.

"I don't know that," Battisti retorted, explaining that Caldeira's model assumed a so-called slab ocean, which does not include the heat circulation patterns that help determine the fate of polar ice.

Although fully coupled models of the earth system are now common, simpler model architectures maintain significant utility, and scientific investigations aimed at understanding paleoclimates are frequently conducted with fixed sea surface temperature (SST) or slab ocean modeling experiments.

Specifically, we should note that instead of following the strict AMIP protocol, the slab ocean model and nudging technique were employed instead of imposing a fixed SST condition to obtain better performance of the distribution of tropical precipitation, as shown in Kodama et al. (2015).

Sea surface temperature (SST) was forecasted using a slab ocean model to allow diurnal variation and nudged to the persistent SST anomaly at the initial time with an e-folding time (that is, the time in which SST is nudged to specified values) of 7 days.

When the slab of ocean floor had plunged 435 miles beneath the surface, minerals from the basalt were encapsulated inside the diamonds that formed at these depths.

The diamonds continued to descend with the slab of ocean floor until they experienced two elevator rides back to the surface.

Satellites have revealed, for the first time, exactly how Earth's surface buckles when a slab of ocean floor dives beneath a continent.

Island arcs formed in the later Silurian Period, and countless ophiolitic slabs of ocean floor were thrust onto the continental margins.

The Ural Mountains also are rich in mineral deposits—especially chromite, platinum, nickel, copper, and gold which are associated with the major ophiolitic slabs of ocean floor distributed along the chain.
