Small-scale instabilities below the cooling oceanic lithosphere

Interpretation of satellite altimetry data as well as ship bathymetry data revealed strongly elongated anomalies roughly perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridges in the Indian and east Pacific oceans. A spectral analysis of gravity altimetry data along profiles parallel to the East Pacific Rise indicated wavelengths of about 150–180  km close to the ridge and about 250  km further away. A simple model of Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities developing at the base of the cooling lithosphere is discussed and applied to the data. By considering thermal diffusion and comparing Rayleigh–Taylor growth rates to the velocity of the thermal front in the cooling lithosphere, we are able to explain the observed anomalies by instabilities developing below the lithosphere in a layer with a viscosity of about 10¹⁹  Pa  s above an asthenospheric layer with a viscosity reduction of 2–3 orders of magnitude.

Low frequency radio emission from the &;#x2018;quiet&;#x2019; Sun

We present observations of the ‘quiet’ Sun close to the recent solar minimum (Cycle 22), with the Gauribidanur radioheliograph. Our main conclusion is that coronal streamers also influence the observed radio brightness temperature.     

Scattering characteristics in heterogeneously fractured reservoirs from waveform estimation

Offset-dependent characteristics of seismic scattering are useful for characterizing fractured reservoirs. We use two models that have different background medium properties and different azimuthal AVO responses to study elastic wave propagation and scattering in gas-saturated, heterogeneously fractured reservoirs. Heterogeneous fracture density distributions are built through stochastic modelling. Synthetic seismograms are generated by 3-D finite difference modelling, and waveforms along crack-normal and strike directions are considered in this paper. The multiple signal classification (MUSIC) frequency estimator is used in waveform estimation to provide frequency-domain attributes related to seismic wave scattering by fracture heterogeneity. Our results indicate that the strength of the scattering field is a function of the background medium. The strength also increases with increasing fracture scatterer density and with decreasing correlation length of spatial variations of fracture density. The scattering field is weak at the top of the fractured reservoir. The first-order results are dominated by velocity anisotropy of the mean fracture density field. However, the base of the fractured reservoir corresponds to a strong scattering field on which fracture heterogeneity has a larger effect and is characterized by the loss of coherence.
