D" anisotropy inverted from shear wave splitting intensity
文献摘要：
The D"layer, located at the bottom of the mantle, is an active thermochemical boundary layer. The upwelling of mantle plumes, as well as possible plate subduction in the D"layer, could lead to large-scale material transformation and mineral deformation, which could result in significant seismic anisotropy. However, owing to limited observations and immense computational cost, the anisotropic structures and geodynamic mechanisms in the D"layer remain poorly understood. In this study, we proposed a new inversion method for the seismic anisotropy in the D" layer quantitatively with shear wave splitting intensities. We first proved the linearity of the splitting intensities under the ray-theory assumption. The synthetic tests showed that, with horizontal axes of symmetry and ray incidences lower than 30° in the D"layer (typical SKS phase), the anisotropy is well resolved. We applied the method to the measured dataset in Africa and Western Europe, and obtained strong D"anisotropy in the margins of the large low shear-wave velocity provinces and subducting slabs. The new method makes it possible to obtain D"anisotropy, which provides essential constraints on the geodynamical processes at the base of the mantle.
