Upper Mantle Shear and Compressional Velocity Structure of the Central US Craton: Shear Wave Low-Velocity Zone and Anisotropy

One‐dimensional upper mantle velocity structure is estimated by modeling P, SV and SH body‐waveforms sampling the central United States. The resulting model features a thick mantle lid with a positive velocity gradient. A significant shear wave low‐velocity zone (6% velocity reduction) is required b...
