Small-scale convection in the D″ layer

Small‐scale convection has been suggested as a possible explanation for seismic heterogeneities in the D″ layer of the Earth's mantle. Recently developed scaling laws for convection with realistic viscosities allow quantitative assessment of this hypothesis. Large temperature and viscosity cont...
