A long range ocean-bottom seismometer array observation in the western Northwest Pacific Basin revealed a P-wave shadow zone beyond the epicentral distance of 15°. The apparent surface velocity of the P-wave in the distance ranges from 12° to 15° is about 8.6 km/sec, which seems to be a continuation of the 8.4 km/sec (apparent surface velocity) travel-times in the range from 6° to 12°. The off-set of travel-times at the shadow zone is about 1.7-2.0 seconds. The low-velocity zone which corresponds to this shadow zone could be a major transition from lithosphere to asthenosphere. A review of the regional differences of shadow zone gives such an estimate that the depth of the transition is deep beneath the western Northwest Pacific Basin, roughly in a depth range of 100-200 km. The detailed structural analysis will be reported in the next paper.
