Love-Rayleigh Wave Discrepancy
Love-Rayleigh Wave Discrepancy : Observed phase velocities of Love waves and Rayleigh waves require a transverse isotropy of seismic velocities in the crust and the uppermost mantle. Love waves are observed to be faster than predicted for isotropic models, which are based on the inversion of Rayleigh waves. This still not totally understood discrepancy was first discovered by Aki and Kaminuma (1963) for Japan, and has been found universally, both in tectonically active and stable regions.
