Earle, P.S. and Shearer, P.M. (1998). observations of high—frequency scattered energy associated with the core PhasePKKP. Geophysical Research Letters 25: doi: 10.1029/97GL53365. issn: 0094-8276.

Stacks of global seismic network data reveal emergent high-frequency (~1 Hz) energy extending back from the PKKP c caustic at 72¿ to a distance of about 60¿. The arrival's emergent onset, long duration (~150 s), apparent slowness, and proximity to the core phase PKKP indicate a deep scattering origin. However, the amplitude and timing of the observations are difficult to explain with simple models of PKKP scattering. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
