We are completing our collection in order to determine a density profile model and to improve the resolution of both attenuation and density in the Earth, parameters not well presently constrained. They will contribute to a better knowledge of the internal structure of the Earth.

Some modes are very interesting due to their sensitivity to the outer and inner cores

1) INTRODUCTIONThe high-quality records obtained for the Sumatran-Andaman event of 2004, December 26th from all FDSN stations, allows to determine precise eigenfrequencies of some singlets from the gravest modes and from some « anomalous » modes. These data will help to better constrain density models of the deep Earth and increase our knowledge on some parameters for the whole Earth.

The symbol size is proportional to measurement quality

All the anoumalously split modes, as 3S2, are sensitive to the inner core. The five black thin lines indicate the PREM-re theoretical eigenfrequencies. Two singlets are particularly well resolved, the singlet m=-2 and the ‘supposed’ singlet m=0. Despite few measurements for the singlet m=+1, we calculate the splitting ratio (r=1.70) that can be compared to the previously estimated 1.58 splitting ratio [He and Tromp, 1996].

Our results exhibit no large discrepancies with the theoretical values (black lines) computed in the PREM-re (PREM model [Dziewonski and Anderson, 1981] with rotation and ellipticity) [Millot et al., 2003], The observed splitting ratio r (ratio of the observed splitting width to the splitting width predicted due to the effects of rotation and hydrostatic ellipticity) is indicated (top left).

We plot all observed eigenfrequencies versus the station latitude (red dots and vertical red lines corresponding to the individual singlet mean value)
