摘要: Summary. The limitations of isotropic modelling in the inversion anisotropic surface-wave phase velocities are examined. Inversion synthetic dispersion data for some model ocean-basin structures is used to demonstrate that inversions can give inaccurate and misleading estimates upper-mantle properties when anisotropy present.
