Geomagnetic spikes on the core-mantle boundary
Extreme variations of Earth's magnetic field occurred in the Levant region around 1000 BC, when the field intensity rapidly rose and fell by a factor of 2. No coherent link currently exists between this intensity spike and the global field produced by the core geodynamo. Here we show that the Levantine spike must span >60° longitude at Earth's surface if it originates from the core-mantle bound...
متن کاملNonlinear Core-mantle Coupling
We explore the nonlinear dynamics of a forced core-mantle system. We show that the free axisymmetric motion of a uniform-vorticity Ñuid core coupled to a rigid mantle (the model) is Poincare -Hough integrable. We derive an approximate Hamiltonian for the core tilt mode that includes the leading nonlinear contribution. We then include gravitational perturbations in the analysis. We identify the...
متن کاملTopographic Core-Mantle coupling in Geodynamo modeling
A 3-dimensional, fully nonlinear numerical geodynamo model is used to study the core-mantle coupling arising from a non-hydrostatic pressure field acting on an aspherical core-mantle boundary (CMB) based on a seismological model. The simulation results demonstrate that the topographic coupling torque is close to being proportional to the square of the amplitude of the CMB topography. We conclud...
متن کاملClockwise Rotation of Upper-Mantle Strain and Crust-Mantle Coupling Beneath the Eastern Syntaxis Tibet
AB: We performed shear-wave splitting of core phases using a subset of 33 selected events within an array composed of 48 broadband stations that spans a 650x350 km area crossing the Lhasa and the southern part of the Qiangtang terranes. Our results reveal the presence of azimuthal anisotropy with small-to-moderate delay times (0.5-1.4s). The consistency of the splitting parameters with respect ...
متن کاملMantle superplumes induce geomagnetic superchrons
We use polarity reversal systematics from numerical dynamos to quantify the hypothesis that the modulation of geomagnetic reversal frequency, including geomagnetic superchrons, results from changes in core heat flux related to growth and partial collapse of the two seismically-imaged lower mantle superplumes. We parameterize the reversal frequency sensitivity from numerical dynamos in terms of ...
