| Description | Two methods are used to interpret the whole range of signals contained in the Geos 3 altimeter data. They each address a different class of events and thus complement each other in their ability to provide information on the state of convection in the earth's mantle. The long wavelength section of the spectrum yields information on the depth of convection cells and the viscosity variations inside those cells through a study of the variations of the admittance as a function of wavelength. The short wavelength section of the spectrum provides information on the evolution of the lithosphere, considered as a thin elastic plate, by studying its response to loads at several points in its evolution. The variation of the flexural rigidity with age is obtained from that study. |
