From a large set of fundamental-mode surface wave phase velocity observations, we map the transversely isotropic lateral heterogeneities in the upper-mantle shear velocity structure. We design a multiple resolution inversion procedure, which allows us to parametrize any selected region more finely than the rest of the globe. We choose, as a high-resolution region, the upper mantle underlying the Mediterranean basin. We formulate the inverse problem as in a previous paper by Boschi & Ekström, calculating regional JWKB (Jeffreys-Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) surface wave sensitivity kernels for each pixel of a 2°× 2° starting model, including the high-resolution global crustal map Crust 2.0. We find that the available surface wave data can resolve the most important geophysical features of the region of interest, providing a reliable image of intermediate spatial wavelength.
