Abstract

Evidence is found for a strong local anomaly in the N Atlantic; residuals for bounce points immediately to the N of the Azores-Gibraltar plate boundary average about 4 s faster than for the bounce points to the S of the boundary. We infer that this velocity contrast exists in the lithosphere and continues below a depth of 200 km. -from AuthorsDept. of Geological Sciences, Brown Univ., Providence, Rhode Island, USA.
