Seismology

the observation that compressional waves cross the inner core faster along the rotation axis than in the equatorial plane.

In seismology, inner core anisotropy refers to the observation that compressional waves cross the inner core faster along the rotation axis than in the equatorial plane. This meaning comes from Morelli (1986) in Geophysical Research Letters.[1]
