Shallow shear-wave splitting analysis using receiver functions

It is well-known that generating receiver functions using the headwave on the vertical and radial components yields shearwave lags comparable to those obtained by conventional PSwave statics analysis. Combining these data with receiver functions of the transverse receiver component permits the evaluation of shallow anisotropy.
