Scientific paper

Measurements of SKS phase splitting were obtained from nineteen seismic stations in southern California. The fast polarization directions are 53 deg at the southern end of the Great Valley, 82 +/- 8 deg in the western Transverse Ranges and northern Peninsular Ranges, 95 +/- 4 deg in Mojave Desert, and 70 deg on San Clemente Island. The splitting time ranges from 0.8 to 1.8 seconds, which is consistent with an anisotropic layer of 100 to 200 km thick for 4% anisotropy.
