    Notes: A striking feature of Russian long-range seismic refraction data from Peaceful Nuclear Explosions is the observation of a high-frequency teleseismic Pn, phase, which travels with a group velocity of 8.0 km s-1 out to distances of several thousands of kilometres. Modelling using the reflectivity method shows that this phase can be understood as the response of an upper mantle that contains random RMS velocity fluctuations of about ±4 per cent superimposed on a positive velocity gradient. This class of model explains the existence of the teleseismic Pn, its high-frequency content and its coda length. A teleseismic Pn can only be generated if velocity flucluations are strong enough to cause multiple scattering and occur on a subwavelength scale. Cross-correlation properties of P- and S-wave velocity fluctuations exert a substantial influence on the wavefield. A completely unexpected phase can be observed if the fluctuations are imposed on a negative gradient
