Week  8:    Deep  Interior  

Interior  1-­‐D  structure  •  Adams-­‐Williamson  Equa0on  

•  What  (and  deriva0on)  •  How  good  are  the  predic0ons?  

•  1D:  VP,  VS,  elas0c  moduli  (µ,  K),  ρ,  P,  g,  aDenua0on  Q      

Interior  3D  structure  •  Seismic  tomography  –  what  is  it?  •  Overall  amplitude  of  3D  vs  1D  structure  •  Key  spa0al  structure  at  various  depths

The  SB4L18S  model  is  parameterized  by  18  layers  of  roughly  100km  thickness  in  the  upper  mantle  and  transi0on  zone  and  200km  thickness  in  the  lower  mantle.  Each  layer  is  divided  into  equal-­‐area  blocks  of  dimension  4  degrees  at  the  equator.  The  dataset  to  make  the  models  includes  surface  wave  phase  velocity  maps,  free  oscilla0on  structure  coefficients  (i.e.  normal  modes)  and  long-­‐period  body  wave  absolute  and  differen0al  travel  0mes.

Seismic  tomography    

No0ce  that  the  velocity  models  made  from  tomography  have  very  small  perturba0ons  rela0ve  to  the  1D  models.    Although  small  they  are  important…..
