  • Predicted postprocessing: The point of computations like this is + not simply to solve the equations. Rather, it is typically the exploration + of different physical models and their comparison with things that we can + measure at the earth surface, in order to find which models are realistic + and which are contradicted by reality. To this end, we need to compute + quantities from our solution vectors that are related to what we can + observe. Among these are, for example, heatfluxes at the surface of the + earth, as well as seismic velocities throughout the mantle as these affect + earthquake waves that are recorded by seismographs.
