Tomographic inversion for three-dimensional anisotropy of Earth’s inner core
Seismological studies generally suggest that the Earth’s inner core is anisotropic and the anisotropic structure changes significantly both laterally and with depth. Previous body-wave studies of the inner core have relied on ray tracing or waveform modeling using one-dimensional (1D) models. Here we present non-linear tomographic inversions of the inner core anisotropy using three-dimensional ...
متن کاملLarge Scale Three Dimensional P Velocity Structure beneath the Western U
The results of a recent large scale three-dimensional study of P velocity beneath North America are analyzed from the point of view of the search for the fossil Farallon plate in the mantle beneath the western edge of the North American continent. The large scale velocity structure obtained in the western U.S. is compatible with independent finer scale seismic studies and suggests that the Fara...
متن کاملA Tomographic Image of Mantle Structure beneath Southern California
We determined the variations in seismic structure beneath southern California by using a tomographic method of inversion on teleseismic P delays recorded with the Southern California Array. The algorithm employed was a modified form of an Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) used in medical X-ray imaging. Deconvolution with an empirically estimated point spread function was also used to hel...

متن کاملUpper mantle P velocity structure beneath the Midwestern United States derived from triplicated waveforms
[1] Upper mantle seismic velocity structures in both vertical and horizontal directions are key to understanding the structure and mechanics of tectonic plates. Recent deployment of the USArray Transportable Array (TA) in the Midwestern United States provides an extraordinary regional earthquake data set to investigate such velocity structure beneath the stable North American craton. In this pa...
