On the role of rheological memory for convection-driven plate reorganizations

% ==================================================================== %<br> % Data directory for 3D spherical, thermal convection models presented %<br> % in Fuchs and Becker (2022) with a strain-dependent weakening and % <br> % hardening rheology following the formulation of %<br> % Fuchs and Becker (2019). %<br> % %<br> % The directory contains an input_files, MATLAB_Scripts, and each % <br> % model directory with a certain name. %<br> % input_file Contains all the input files for CitcomS % <br> % MATLAB_Scripts Contains all the MATLAB scripts required to %<br> % reproduce the figures in the manuscript %<br> % $ModelName Contains a MATLAB directory for individual %<br> % data from each model, %<br> % a TPR directory for toroidal-poloidal data for %<br> % each degree, and, %<br> % a txt_data for data picked from CitcomS models %<br> % which is then visualized in MATLAB. %<br> % For the models discussed in the paper, surface %<br> % maps plots and surface grd-files are available %<br> % within those directories as well. % <br> % ==================================================================== % MATLAB_Scripts directory: <br> -------------------------<br> To visualize certain data for each model you can run the script <br> Analyze_Citcom_Models in the MALTAB_Scripts directory, e.g., <br> <br> Analyze_Citcom_Models(Name,PlotParam,PlotParam2,S) where, <br> Name is the model name as a string variable,<br> PlotParam a switch to save (1) or not save (0) the figures,<br> PlotParam2 a switch to activate (1) or deactivate (0) plotting, <br> S a switch to define the scaling of the model parameter,<br> no scaling (0), scaling with the diffusion time scale (1), <br> or scaling with the overturn time OT (2). With this script one can visualize all the time-dependent data picked<br> from the CitcomS models. The CitcomS models can be reproduce with the <br> input-files given in the input_files directory. To reproduce the box whisker plots in figures 2, 3, S7, and S8 one <br> needs to run the script CompStat. This scripts reads in the data <br> from all models (from the txt_files directory in the $ModelName <br> directory) and creates a box whisker plot for each model period and <br> plots them again the average lithospheric damage (gamma_L). For more details to each MATLAB script see the help comments within the<br> script.
