Three-dimensional modeling of upper mantle structure and its significance to tectonics
<p>A global model was constructed for shear wave velocity structure, expanded up to degree and order 36 in spherical harmonic expansion, and down in 500 km of the Earth's upper mantle. The data set included about 18,000 seismograms associated with 971 events with magnitude larger than ab...
