Abstract. Seismic anisotropy is one of the most efficient geological and geodynamical tools for understanding the dynamics of the Earth. Upper mantle anisotropy is evident in seismic data sets for the last 30 years primarily from surface wave dispersion curves and body wave $K$ data. We demonstrate in this paper that surface wave and body wave derived anisotropy can be explained by the same anisotropic parameters (L• (7• (7•) in the simplest case of a horizontal fast sym-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
