Introduction Seismic tomography surveys and fluid dynamic studies show that thermal convection within Earth's mantle produces significant lateral heterogeneity exemplified by superplumes, superswells, and subducting slabs. To determine the influence of this heterogeneity on body tides, we used a tomographic model to constrain lateral variations in mantle density and rigidity. This heterogeneity drives convective flow that deflects Earth's surface and core mantle boundaries by a few kilometers; we used a viscous flow model to constrain this dynamically-supported asphericity. After verifying this complete Earth model using geoid observations, we used the spectral element method to determine how Earth's body tides are perturbed compared to a spherical Earth. Indeed, the laterally heterogeneous structure of the Earth induces small perturbations to the tidal Love numbers (see article, eqs. (7)-(9)). These three auxiliary files present tables of the perturbations to the tidal Love numbers (see more details below). Note that, for all the files: 1) The spherical harmonics are normalized using the norm (for degree n and order m): sqrt( (2n+1) (2-delta(0,m)) (n-m)!/(n+m)! ) 2) The perturbed Love number coefficients dh, dl, dw, dk, dd, depend on degrees and orders n, m, n', m' (see article, eqs. (7)-(9)). The coefficients have to be multiplied by 1e- 6. Degree 1 toroidal components (dw) are not presented here because they correspond to rigid rotations of the Earth. 1. 2007jb005448-ts01.txt Table of perturbed semi-diurnal Love numbers (n = 2, |m| = 2), up to degree 20.
