Ratio of relative S to P velocity heterogeneity in the lower mantle

The parameter ν = ∂ ln υs/∂ ln υp, the ratio of relative S to P velocity heterogeneity, can be measured seismically and is important in determining the mineral physics of the deep mantle. However, seismic results are inconclusive because they have generally been based on P and S velocity models whic...
