Abstract

The characteristics of seismic waves detected at the Large Aperture Seismic Array in Montana suggest that, beneath the Bonin Island Arc in particular, there are lateral inhomogeneities in the mantle.

Verification

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Recent observations of lower-mantle lateral inhomogeneities are easily explained by convective temperature differences.

    “Recent observations of lateral inhomogeneities in the lower mantle (Davies & Sheppard 1972;Julian & Sengupta 1973;Needham & Davies 1973) are also easily explained by convective temperature differences.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
