The nature of the 660-kilometer discontinuity in Earth's mantle from global seismic observations of PP precursors.

The 660-kilometer discontinuity, which separates Earth's upper and lower mantle, has been detected routinely on a global scale in underside reflections of precursors to SS shear waves. Here, we report observations of this discontinuity in many different regions, using precursors to compressiona...
