- W4322210975 abstract "The Earth's inner core is one of the most strongly anisotropic regions of our planet. On average, the anisotropy appears to be aligned with the Earth's rotation axis with a larger wave velocity in the polar (North-South) direction than in the equatorial (East-West) direction. Over de last few decades, seismic studies of inner core anisotropy have revealed regional variations with ever increasing detail, suggesting that the top 60-80 km of the inner core is isotropic, the western hemisphere is more strongly anisotropic than the eastern hemisphere and that the anisotropy in the innermost inner core has an anomalous slow direction. Most previous studies assumed that the symmetry axis of the anisotropy is aligned with the rotation axis axis and then attributed regional variations to variations in the magnitude of the anisotropy. Here, we make a tomographic model of inner core anisotropy using seismic body waves observations using a different approach. We assume that the inner core is made of cylindrically symmetric anisotropy crystals that all have the same magnitude of anisotropy, and instead we allow the symmetry axis to vary. We find that our model fits the body wave data equally well as models in which the magnitude varies, with the advantage that our model requires fewer parameters. In our model, the anisotropy in the central part of the inner core is still mainly aligned with the rotation axis. In the upper part of the inner core we find two caps around South-East Asia and Central America with anisotropy aligned parallel to the inner core boundary.Inner core anisotropy is most likely due to alignment of hcp iron crystal  formed either (i) during solidification at the inner core boundary or (ii) afterwards by deformation deeper in the inner core. Thus, our new model may be related to flow in the inner core or solidification processes at the inner core boundary and constrain geodynamic processes in the inner core. " @default.
