Fig. 4b shows the projection of fast orientations.
Later the backazimuthal variation of fast orientations is modeled by means of two anisotropic layers.
The backazimuthal variations of fast orientations have been modeled as vertical changes in order to assess the depth sources of anisotropy.
We have shown that while the average values of fast orientations show clear mountain-parallel anisotropy pattern for the Western Alps, this pattern clearly breaks down in the Eastern Alps.

They clearly show the rotating pattern of fast orientation along the Alps previously described (seen in Fig. 2).
For the measurements in the eastern part, there is no considerable match of fast orientation neither with the high-velocity nor to the low-velocity anomalies.
Although the average values of fast orientation in this study have provided a reliable estimation for the overall anisotropic structures, the individual splitting parameters should be taken into account, allowing to inspect their variation in more detail.
In a previous study (Bokelmann et al., 2013), we described the mountain chain-parallel anisotropy pattern in the upper mantle and discussed the rotation of fast orientation along the Alpine chain.
We find that the eastern part of the study area is characterized by the presence of two layers of anisotropy, where the deeper layer has characteristics similar to those of the Central Alps, in particular SW NE fast orientations of anisotropic axes.
We can extract useful information by the employment of "Null" measures, in order to determine which fast orientations cause the absence of energy in the transverse component.
Some stations (i.e. KBA, ARSA, OBKA) give Nulls in two groups of backazimuthal ranges, which can be related to either two fast orientations or single fast and single slow orientations.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
