Waveform inversion for 3-D S-velocity structure of D′′ beneath the Northern Pacific: possible evidence for a remnant slab and a passive plume

Abstract We conduct waveform inversion to infer the three-dimensional (3-D) S-velocity structure in the lowermost 400 km of the mantle (the D′′ region) beneath the Northern Pacific region. Our dataset consists of about 20,000 transverse component broadband body-wave seismograms observed at North Ame...
