An unsually large ULVZ at the base of the mantle near Hawaii
S Cottaar, B Romanowicz - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2012 - Elsevier
Previous studies have documented the presence of ultra-low-velocity-zones (ULVZs) at the
base of the mantle, through observations of body wave complexities. Geometrically their …

Lowermost mantle structure beneath the central Pacific Ocean: Ultralow velocity zones and seismic anisotropy
Ultralow velocity zones (ULVZs) and seismic anisotropy are both commonly detected in the
lowermost mantle at the edges of the two antipodal large low velocity provinces (LLVPs) …

ScP; a probe of ultralow velocity zones at the base of the mantle
EJ Garnero, JE Vidale - Geophysical research letters, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
The core‐reflected phase ScP is a sensitive probe of the properties of an ultralow velocity
zone (ULVZ) at the base of the mantle. In synthetic experiments, a ULVZ with large …
