Most-cited papers in Reviews of Geophysics

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission

T. G. Farr, P. A. Rosen, E.R. Caro et al. · 19 May 2007

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest‐resolution digital elevation model of the Earth. The project was a joint endeavor of NASA, the National Geospatial‐Intelligence Agency, and the German and Italian Space Agencies and flew in February 2000. It used dual radar antennas to acquire interferometric radar data, processed to digital topographic data…

Development of a turbulence closure model for geophysical fluid problems

George L. Mellor, Tetsuji Yamada · 1 Nov 1982

Applications of second‐moment turbulent closure hypotheses to geophysical fluid problems have developed rapidly since 1973, when genuine predictive skill in coping with the effects of stratification was demonstrated. The purpose here is to synthesize and organize material that has appeared in a number of articles and add new useful material so that a complete (and…

The geochemical evolution of the continental crust

Stuart Ross Taylor, S. M. McLennan · 1 May 1995

A survey is given of the dimensions and composition of the present continental crust. The abundances of immobile elements in sedimentary rocks are used to establish upper crustal composition. The present upper crustal composition is attributed largely to intracrustal differentiation resulting in the production of granites senso lato. Underplating of the crust by ponded basaltic…

Oceanic vertical mixing: A review and a model with a nonlocal boundary layer parameterization

William G. Large, James C. McWilliams, Scott C. Doney · 1 Nov 1994

If model parameterizations of unresolved physics, such as the variety of upper ocean mixing processes, are to hold over the large range of time and space scales of importance to climate, they must be strongly physically based. Observations, theories, and models of oceanic vertical mixing are surveyed. Two distinct regimes are identified: ocean mixing in…

Nature and composition of the continental crust: A lower crustal perspective

Roberta L. Rudnick, David M. Fountain · 1 Aug 1995

Geophysical, petrological, and geochemical data provide important clues about the composition of the deep continental crust. On the basis of seismic refraction data, we divide the crust into type sections associated with different tectonic provinces. Each shows a three‐layer crust consisting of upper, middle, and lower crust, in which P wave velocities increase progressively with…
