SUMMARY Curie point depth can be used as a proxy for plate temperatures. Data from the North Atlantic (10°–50°N) are here to determine if observed oscillations and patterns in depths could subproduct of small-scale thermal instabilities arising at bottom lithospheric plates. Our numerical models suggest that convection (SSC) cells produce perturbations isotherms low point. These results compati...

Despite decades of investigations, there is still no consensus on whether inertial particles augment or dampen turbulence. Here, we perform the first experimental study in which particle concentration varied systematically across a broad range volume fractions $\varPhi _{v}$ , from nominally one-way coupled to heavily two-way regimes, keeping all other parameters constant. We utilize zero-mean ...
