Geographic variations in lowermost mantle structure from the ray parameters and decay constants of core-diffracted waves: CMBR Structure From P diff and S diff
Abstract
We propose an array-based approach for constraining seismic velocity structure in the lowermost mantle by measuring the frequency dependence of the ray parameter p and decay constant γ for core-diffracted waves (Pdiff and SHdiff). The approach uses an iterative multichannel cross-correlation algorithm that solves for relative arrival times and amplitudes of core-diffracted waveforms from multiple peaks in normalized correlograms from pairs of coazimuthal stations. The approach is applied to 60 mb ≥ 5.8 earthquakes for Pdiff and 36 for SHdiff during 2001–2002, with nearly 50,000 unique profile station pairs with epicentral-distance differences of Δd ≥ 10° and azimuth differences of Δφ ≤ 10°, sampling a significant portion of the lowermost mantle. Cap-averaging the resulting ray parameter estimates produces geographic variations that are largely consistent with the distribution of lowermost mantle large low-velocity provinces and seismically fast slab-accumulation regions seen in seismic tomography models, whose locations also greatly influence the geographic distribution of heat flow out of the core. Geographic variations in station-pair diffracted-wave decay constants differ from those of the ray parameters, suggesting that variations in the decay of core-diffracted waves are more linked to lowermost mantle seismic velocity gradients than absolute values of seismic velocity.
