Summary. Earlier efforts to generate the entire theoretical seismograms, including both body and surface waves for realistic sources buried in a radially heterogeneous anelastic, spherical earth, are extended to include the summation of 16 modes. The comparison between a real seismogram and theoretical time series, relative to different attenuation models in the upper mantle, yields information concerning the anelasticity under the Pacific Ocean.
