Ludek Klimes & Petr Bulant

Summary

The equations for estimating the travel-time errors due to the isotropic and anisotropic common ray approximations of the coupling ray theory for S waves are derived and numerically tested.

Keywords

Coupling ray theory, common ray approximation, travel time, perturbation methods, seismic anisotropy, inhomogeneous media.
