Anisotropy of the Pacific upper mantle
Abstract : Seismic refraction measurements of the compressional wave velocity of the upper mantle, obtained in the northeast Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii, have sh...
Computation of surface wave dispersion for multilayered anisotropic media
ABSTRACT With the program described in this paper it is now possible to compute surface wave dispersion in a solid heterogeneous halfspace containing up to 200 anisotropic layer...
Differential PKiKP Travel Times and the Radius of the Inner Core
A value for the radius of the inner core is computed from differential PKiKP (PKiKP minus PcP) arrival time data and current Earth models. The data support an inner core radius ...
Earth Structure from Free Oscillations and Travel Times
An extensive set of reliable gross Earth data has been inverted to obtain a new estimate of the radial variations of seismic velocities and density in the Earth. The basic data ...
On Regional Differences in Dispersion of Mantle Rayleigh Waves
Rayleigh waves generated by the Peru—Bolivian border earthquake of 1963 August 15 have been analysed at 35 WWSSN stations in the period range between 150 and 300 seconds. Thirty...
