Summary
SPacific-rani is a radially anisotropic shear wave speed model in the Pacific upper mantle. We assess radially anisotropic features in SGLOBE-rani (Chang et al., 2015) in the Pacific with full waveform modelling of fundamental mode surface waves along with independent data. We obtain constraints on the radially anisotropic structure of the Pacific upper mantle by a subsequent inversion.
