Some conclusions
- Precursors to PKP from small scale scatterers near CMB can be
related to heterogeneity in the Pv/PPv region due to complex
phase distribution and/or crustal remnants
- PPv linked to D” allows temperature estimates near CMB from
seismic mapping of PPv > Pv in the thermal boundary layer
- Heatflow estimates based on simple linear T profiles are feasible
but require better constraints of k_cmb
