Data Services Products: EMC-SAW642AN A global radially anisotropic mantle shear velocity model

Summary

SAW642AN, Panning and Romanowicz (2006) , is a radially anisotropic shear velocity model, parameterized in terms of isotropic S velocity (Voigt average) and the anisotropic parameter, xi (VSH2/VSV2). Model values are percent perturbation relative to the anisotropic reference model PREM500 .
