Comparison of ray-matrix and finite-difference methods in a simple 1-D model

Ludek Klimes

Summary

Ray-matrix synthetic seismograms are compared with finite-difference synthetic seismograms in a simple 1-D model, consisting of a low-velocity layer covering a homogeneous halfspace. The numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the combination of the ray-methods with the matrix methods.
