Significant P wave conversions from upgoing S waves generated by very deep earthquakes around Japan

Abstract An important component of the seismic wavefield at moderate epicentral distances from deep earthquakes comes from seismic waves that are radiated upwards from the source. For very deep events, there is a range of distances at which upgoing S can convert into P waves that travel in the crust...
