SA Triana, M Dumberry, D Cébron, J Vidal, A Trinh… - Surveys in …, 2022 - Springer
Abstract Changes in the Earth's rotation are deeply connected to fluid dynamical processes
in the outer core. This connection can be explored by studying the associated Earth …

[HTML][HTML] The transition to Earth-like torsional oscillations in magnetoconvection simulations

RJ Teed, CA Jones, SM Tobias - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2015 - Elsevier
Evidence for torsional oscillations (TOs) operating within the Earth's fluid outer core has
been found in the secular variation of the geomagnetic field. These waves arise via …
