The strength of the Iceland plume: A geodynamical scaling approach
International audience An important measure of the strength of a mantle plume is its buoyancy flux B, defined as the integral over a horizontal plane of the product of the vertical velocity and the density deficit within the plume. In the case of the Iceland plume, which currently rises directly ben...
