The curious case of Mercury's internal structure (2013, methodology): “Natural terrestrial peridotite samples also have a similarly large range of densities as a function of Mg number, where Mg#= Mg/ (Fe + Mg) on an atomic basis [ Lee , 2003].”
Integrated geophysical‐petrological modeling of the lithosphere and sublithospheric upper mantle: Methodology and applications (2008, background): “00033 km s 1 C 1 [Goes et al., 2000; Lee, 2003]), the predicted difference in absolute velocities between these two models at depths <140 km (i.”
Mineralogy and elasticity of the oceanic upper mantle: Origin of the low‐velocity zone (2005, background): “The small calculated contrast is consistent with previous calculations [Green and Liebermann, 1976] and with a suite of natural samples, which show no systematic difference in seismic velocity between garnetand spinel-peridotites within the variance of bulk composition [Lee, 2003].”
