Tidally heated convection: Constraints on Europa's ice shell thickness (2003, background): “The presence of a deep ocean would strongly modify its response to the tidal potential [Castillo et al., 2000; Moore and Schubert, 2000] and the amount of tidally dissipated energy.”
Interior composition, structure and dynamics of the Galilean satellites (2004, methodology): “Moore and Schubert (2000) calculated the tidal response of Europa by solving the quasi-static equilibrium equations for a body composed of several uniform Maxwell viscoelastic layers.”
Long-Term Stability of a Subsurface Ocean on Enceladus (2007, methodology): “The dissipation rate is a combination of the amplitude of the dissipation and the phase lags (Moore and Schubert, 2000).”
Subsurface oceans and deep interiors of medium-sized outer planet satellites and large trans-neptunian objects (2006, background): “However, in general the dependence of the tidal response on frequency, viscosity, and rigidity of the ice may introduce some ambiguity in application to the icy satellites (Moore and Schubert, 2000).”
The Physics of Bodily Tides in Terrestrial Planets, and the Appropriate Scales of Dynamical Evolution (2007, methodology): “To find the integral parameter E emerging in (26), we used the present-day values of ∆t and n .”
