A catalogue of deep mantle plumes: New results from finite‐frequency tomography

New finite‐frequency tomographic images of S ‐wave velocity confirm the existence of deep mantle plumes below a large number of known hot spots. We compare S ‐anomaly images with an updated P ‐anomaly model. Deep mantle plumes are present beneath Ascension, Azores, Canary, Cape Verde, Cook Island, Crozet, Easter, Kerguelen, Hawaii, Samoa, and Tahiti. Afar, Atlantic Ridge, Bouvet(Shona), Cocos/Keeling, Louisville, and Reunion are shown to originate at least below the upper mantle if not much deeper. Plumes that reach only to midmantle are present beneath Bowie, Hainan, Eastern Australia, and Juan Fernandez; these plumes may have tails too thin to observe in the lowermost mantle, but the images are also…
