The Love Numbers of the Anelastic Earth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
We calculate corrections to the Love numbers resulting from the small frequency-dependent variations in the shear modulus, μ, arising from anelasticity in the Earth. The corrections are of the order of a percent, which in some cases exceeds the observational error. We point out the possibility of using these corrections to study the Earth's anelasticity at long (tidal) periods.
