Subduction of Decadal North Pacific Temperature Anomalies: Observations and Dynamics
Observations of oceanic temperature in the upper 400 m reveal decadal signals that propagate in the thermocline along lines of constant potential vorticity from the ventilation region in the central North Pacific to approximately 188N in the western Pacific. The propagation path and speed are well described by the geostrophic mean circulation and by a model of the ventilated thermocline. The ap...
متن کاملHigh-Volume Magmatic Events in Subduction Systems
Subduction-related magmatic arcs represent immense accumulations of intermediate, calc-alkaline igneous rocks and are considered the main factories of continental crust on Earth. Estimating the pace at which these giant volumes of magmatic rock were added to the crust and the mechanisms responsible for magmatic addition are fundamental issues for the disciplines of igneous petrology and contine...
متن کاملObserving mesoscale eddy effects on mode-water subduction and transport in the North Pacific
While modelling studies suggest that mesoscale eddies strengthen the subduction of mode waters, this eddy effect has never been observed in the field. Here we report results from a field campaign from March 2014 that captured the eddy effects on mode-water subduction south of the Kuroshio Extension east of Japan. The experiment deployed 17 Argo floats in an anticyclonic eddy (AC) with enhanced ...
متن کاملMagmatic Processes : Physicochemical Principles
The viscosities of eight melt compositions in the System albite-H20-F20_1 have been determined at high pressure and temperature. Measurements were performed using the falling sphere method at 1000-1600°C and 2.5 to 22.5 kbar. Fluorine and water strongly decrease the viscosity of albite melt at all pressures and temperatures investigated. The viscosity of a fluorine-bearing albitic melt decrease...
متن کاملMagmatic evolution of Panama Canal volcanic rocks: A record of arc processes and tectonic change
Volcanic rocks along the Panama Canal present a world-class opportunity to examine the relationship between arc magmatism, tectonic forcing, wet and dry magmas, and volcanic structures. Major and trace element geochemistry of Canal volcanic rocks indicate a significant petrologic transition at 21-25 Ma. Oligocene Bas Obispo Fm. rocks have large negative Nb-Ta anomalies, low HREE, fluid mobile e...
