Description:
Does the application of seismic Born theory, as
opposed to simpler ray theory, lead to an improvement in
tomographic images of the Earth? In recent publications,
Montelli et al. (2004a, 2004b) and van der Hilst and de
Hoop (2005) among others have expressed opposite
opinions. We propose a quantitative approach to the
comparison of tomographic images, which we apply to
the case of surface-wave phase velocity maps derived
with Born vs. ray theory.
