Bayesian Inference of Mantle Viscosity From Whole‐Mantle Density Models

Abstract The long‐wavelength geoid is sensitive to Earth's mantle density structure as well as radial variations in mantle viscosity. We present a suite of inversions for the radial viscosity profile using whole‐mantle models that jointly constrain the variations in density, shear‐ and compress...
