- Anticyclonic eddies are more productive than cyclonic eddies in subtropical gyres because of winter mixing
In subtropical ocean gyres, anticyclonic eddies increase surface nutrient injection and primary production during winter.
- Experimental evidence supports mantle partial melting in the asthenosphere
Based on sound velocity measurements, upper mantle seismic anomalies could be explained by a melt fraction as low as 0.2%.
