Degree 4 Structure Coefficients 5S Branch

Note: The 4s5s shear branch includes multiplets 5s2,5s3,4s4,4s5,... . The 4s5s compressional branch includes multiplets 4s1,4s2,4s3,5s4,5s5,5s6,... . These branches are so named based upon the sensitivity of the 4s kernels and 5s kernels to velocity structure in the lower mantle.
