Dynamos with weakly convecting outer layers: implications for core-mantle boundary interaction
2008
Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
Convection in the Earth's core is driven much harder at the bottom than the top. This is partly because the adiabatic gradient steepens towards the top, partly because the spherical geometry means the area involved increases towards the top, and partly because compositional convection is driven by light material released
