Things to consider when interpreting Sp receiver functions…

Conversions of shear waves (S) to compressional waves (P), often analyzed as Sp receiver functions, are useful for studying upper mantle layering, and have been used to map upper mantle seismic impedance interfaces in various tectonic settings. Recently, common conversion point stacking of Sp receiver functions has revealed variations of lithospheric thickness across short horizontal […]

About those amplitudes…

It is well known, at least among tomographers, that our images of the Earth’s interior are washed out. Lateral variations in seismic velocities are likely to be weaker in our models than in the actual Earth due to explicit and implicit regularization needed to obtain a solution to our mixed-determined inverse problems. As a result,
