“…However, in the presence of complicated crustal structures or properties, such as the dipping Moho and crustal anisotropy, the H ‐ κ results can be biased owing to the deviation from the premise hypothesis of laterally homogenous and isotropic crust (Hammond, 2014; Tan et al., 2018). Here, we use a generalized H ‐ κ method with the harmonic correction, to minimize the biases due to the dipping Moho and crustal anisotropy (i.e., the H ‐ κ ‐ c method, J. Li et al., 2019). After correcting azimuthally dependent variations of the Moho Ps phase and crustal multiples in the 2 π or π periodicity, which could be induced by the interface inclination and azimuthal anisotropy, respectively (Savage, 1998), the H ‐ κ ‐ c method provides a more reliable H ‐ κ result based on more identical multiples and focused stacking energy (Figure 2).…”
