In this case, the results are strongly grid-dependent. Shifting the grid leads to completely different results.

The parameterization should have the minimum effect on the result. The grid spacing should be much smaller than the minimum resolved structures

Parameterization is a method for definition of a model with a

finite number of parameters

The function is presented as a decomposition with a set of basis functions fi(r) and coefficients ci.
In a case of cell parameterization, fi(r)=1 inside the i-th cell and fi(r)=0 outside the cell.
There might be many types of the basis functions.

The result is not perfect. We can recover an anomaly at 22-24 km. The anomaly to the left (12-14 km) and to the right (26-30) are almost not resolvable.

Parameterization in zones:

Removal links between zones makes it possible to reveal

sharp contrasts in velocity anomalies.
The nodes in different zones can be attributed with different weights (e.g., in the upper part, the retrieved anomalies are much weaker).
