| Short Description | SGLOBE-rani is a global radially anisotropic shear wave speed model with radial anisotropy allowed in the whole mantle. It is based on a seismic data set of over 43M seismic surface wave (fundamental and overtones) and body wave measurements. It models simultaneously crustal thickness and mantle structure, and its reference model is PREM. NOTE: Kustowski et al., 2008 and Chang et al., 2014 showed that the anisotropic structure in the lowermost mantle retrieved from global tomographic inversions can be strongly affected by leakage effects, so we discourage interpreting SGLOBE-rani’s anisotropic structure below ~1500 km depth. |
