Upper mantle stratification by P and S receiver functions

V Farra, L Vinnik - Geophysical Journal International, 2000 - academic.oup.com
… Our technique of stacking is broadly similar to that applied by Vinnik & Montagner (1986) to
the same records, but it con-tains two new elements. First, we use summary events instead of …

Low S velocity atop the 410-km discontinuity and mantle plumes

L Vinnik, V Farra - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2007 - Elsevier
A thin, low-S-velocity layer atop the 410-km discontinuity is an intriguing feature of the upper
mantle with important implications for geodynamics, but relevant seismic data are few. By …
