While dip direction is a fundamental parameter of slab geometry, it is rarely estimated quantitatively. Here, we develop a new method, Dip Direction Searching (DDS), of receiver functions (RFs) that reduces the uncertainty of slab dip direction estimation from tens to several degrees. DDS can also r...
