The Moho structure in the western Eger Rift: A receiver function experiment

We used teleseismic recordings of a temporary deployment of seismic station s and of permanent short period stations in the western Eger Rift system to study the lithosphere with the help of Receiver Functions. The crust-mantl e boundary (Moho) is observed at almost all stations by strong P-to-S conve rted phases. The Moho is basically flat between about 26 - 30 km depth in t he entire region. At one station in the Eger Rift (BOH-1, Loket castle) no Moho is observed. We interpret this with the existence of a broad gradient zone there, instead of a sharp discontinuity. This observation, however, ne eds to be confirmed by more data.
