Receiver function is a routine technique to measure crustal structures. However, it is still a challenge to obtain accurate parameters of the azimuthal anisotropy and Moho geometry (dip direction and dip angle) for the trade-off between the two features. In this study, we made two major modifications to the method of the joint analysis method to measure the crustal anisotropy and Moho geometry simultaneously. Here, our purpose is to improve the joint analysis method for the case with anisotropy and a tilted Moho, rather than to resolve all problems.
