Reference Model of LLSVP Morphology

Using depth-dependent clustering analysis of global Vs and Vp tomographic models, we have constructed a new reference model for LLSVP shape and volume. We obtain new, much larger estimates of the volume/mass occupied by LLSVPs—8.0 % ±0.9 (μ ± 1σ) of whole mantle volume and 9.1 % ±1.0 (μ ± 1σ) of whole mantle mass.  We also […]
