Can seismology tell us anything about convection in the mantle?

JP Montagner - Reviews of Geophysics, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
The understanding of mantle convection is one of the most puzzling problems of modern
geophysics. Among the different approaches used by geophysicists to investigate mantle …

Closing the gap between regional and global travel time tomography

H Bijwaard, W Spakman… - Journal of Geophysical …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Recent global travel time tomography studies by Zhou [1996] and van der Hilst et al.[1997]
have been performed with cell parameterizations of the order of those frequently used in …

Actin microfilament dynamics in locomoting cells

JA Theriot, TJ Mitchison - Nature, 1991 - nature.com
The dynamic behaviour of actin filaments has been directly observed in living, motile cells
using fluorescence photoactivation. In goldfish epithelial keratocytes, the actin …

A geodynamic model of mantle density heterogeneity

Y Ricard, M Richards… - Journal of …, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
Using Cenozoic and Mesozoic plate motion reconstructions, we derive a model of present‐
day mantle density heterogeneity under the assumption that subducted slabs sink vertically …

Global mantle shear velocity model developed using nonlinear asymptotic coupling theory

XD Li, B Romanowicz - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
We present a three‐dimensional shear velocity model of the whole mantle developed using
SH waveform data. The model is expressed horizontally in terms of spherical harmonics up …

[图书][B] Inverse problems in geophysics

R Snieder, J Trampert - 1999 - Springer
An important aspect of the physical sciences is to make inferences about physical
parameters from data. In general, the laws of physics provide the means for computing the …

Approximate inverse for linear and some nonlinear problems

AK Louis - Inverse problems, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we present a method for solving problems such as Af= g by constructing an
approximate inverse which maps the data g to a regularized solution of this equation of the …

Model estimations biased by truncated expansions: possible artifacts in seismic tomography

J Trampert, R Snieder - Science, 1996 - science.org
In most linear imaging problems, where the model to be sought is expanded in a set of basis
functions, it is common practice to truncate the set at a certain (arbitrary) level. The solution …

Predominance of long-wavelength heterogeneity in the mantle

W Su, AM Dziewonski - Nature, 1991 - nature.com
Abstract Analysis of travel-time anomalies of long-period shear waves recorded by the
Global Digital Seismographic Network indicates that mantle heterogeneities, which probably …

Normal‐mode constraints on the structure of the Earth

X He, J Tromp - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
We have analyzed the splitting characteristics of 75 spheroidal free oscillations excited by
the Great 1994 Bolivia and Kuril Islands earthquakes. These spheroidal modes may be …
