Examples of the first analyses of broadband Geoscope data at station SSB (France) show that these data will make possible a detailed study of the deep mantle discontinuities. Analysis of the P-coda of earthquakes using specific methods suggests the existence of P-to-S conversions at 670 km depth beneath SSB for earthquakes with northern-to-eastern azimuths; a comparison with results from the NARS and Grafenberg arrays indicates that the 670-km discontinuity beneath western Europe is highly heterogeneous or horizontally discontinuous. A frequency analysis reveals that the relevant discontinuity is not very sharp.
