Data Set S1
Additional Supporting Information (Files uploaded separately)
Data Set S1 contains the 4172 high-quality receiver functions we used for phaseweighted common conversion points stacking.
Introduction
This supporting information contains maps of the transition zone thickness and of the
topography of the 410 km and 660 km discontinuities for different 3D and 1D models
(Figure S1).
It also provides the receiver functions used for stacking that can be processed by SAC
(Seismic Analysis Code).

Figure S1. Maps of the transition zone thickness (top), and of the topography of the 410 (bottom) and 660 (middle) for different 3D
and 1D models. The transition zone thickness is calculated by subtracting the depth of the 660 from that of the 410. The average
values are marked on the top left corner of the maps. The color scales denote variations with respect to the average values.

Data Set S1. Receiver functions used for phase-weighted common conversion points
stacking. Files are named, e.g. as “H30_2001010161347_GD_SHG”, where H30 means
that the waveforms include 30 s before the theoretical P arrival time; 2001010161347 is
the time of the teleseismic events; GD is the name of the seismic network while SHG is
the station name.
