Seismic detection of the X-discontinuity beneath the Ryukyu subduction zone from the SdP conversion phase

The X-discontinuity, which appears at the depth of approximately 300 km, is an important seismic interface with positive velocity contrasts in the upper mantle. Detecting its presence and topography can be useful to understand phase transformations of relevant mantle minerals under the high-temperat...
