Predictions and Observations for the Oceanic Lithosphere From S-to-P Receiver Functions and SS Precursors

The ocean lithosphere is classically described by the thermal half-space cooling (HSC) or the plate models, both characterized by a gradual transition to the asthenosphere beneath. Scattered waves find sharp seismic discontinuities beneath the oceans, possibly from the base of the plate. Active sour...
