Popis: Abstract Recent studies have shown that crustal body wave phases, such as PmP or SmS, can be effectively retrieved from ambient noise cross‐correlations. However, few studies have used these phases to constrain crustal structures. In this study, we successfully retrieve SmS signals from ambient noise data and observe SmS splitting caused by crustal radial anisotropy. Furthermore, through simulations of synthetic tests and application to field data, we demonstrate that these SmS signals can be used to constrain crustal radial anisotropy structures through joint inversion with surface waves. Our findings suggest that SmS signals obtained from noise data can significantly enhance the understanding of fine crustal radial anisotropic structures.
