“…Seismic tomography is a powerful tool for mapping the subducted slabs in the mantle. Although many tomographic studies have been made, the three‐dimensional (3‐D) P‐wave velocity (Vp) structure of the upper mantle beneath the whole PSP is still not well revealed, because the previous studies mainly focused on local areas, such as the Japan Islands and the Ryukyu arc (e.g., Cao et al., 2014; Fan & Zhao, 2021b; Hasegawa et al., 2013; Huang et al., 2013; Liu & Zhao, 2016; Zhao et al., 1992, 2012), the Philippines (e.g., Fan & Zhao, 2018; Fan et al., 2015, 2016, 2017; Wei et al., 2022), the Taiwan Island (e.g., Fan & Zhao, 2021a; Koulakov et al., 2014; Kuo‐Chen et al., 2012; Lallemand et al., 2001; Toyokuni et al., 2021), and the Yap and Mariana trenches (e.g., Barklage et al., 2015; Fan et al., 2022; Pyle et al., 2010; Qiao et al., 2021). Some researchers have investigated the large‐scale mantle structure beneath East or Southeast Asia (e.g., Chen et al., 2017; Huang & Zhao, 2006; J. Ma et al., 2018, 2019; Toyokuni et al., 2022; van der Hist et al., 1991; Wei et al., 2012, 2015; Zhao et al., 2017) and the global mantle structure (e.g., Amaru, 2007; Fukao & Obayashi, 2013; Li et al., 2008; Lu et al., 2019; Zhao, 2004; Zhao et al., 2013), but these large‐scale Vp models generally have lower resolution than the local Vp models.…”
