Sensitivity Kernels of PP Precursor Traveltimes and Their Limitations for Imaging Topography of Discontinuities

We analyze the sensitivity of PP precursor traveltimes that are often used to infer lateral variation in the depths of the 410- and 660-km discontinuities in the mantle. Previous results were inconclusive due to complex wave phenomena, such as multiple energy conversions and focusing/defocusing, tha...
