This is an example of the zero-offset ray tracing.
The calculation is performed in the smoothed Marmousi model obtained by running the history file 'mar-inv.h', see the description mar-inv.htm.
The initial surface (exploding reflector) corresponds to the velocity
discontinuity in the lower part of the original "hard" Marmousi model.
The points at the initial surface
have been found using the program
grdiso.for:
The initial surface is then interpolated by B-splines, see the data file
RPAR.
The receivers are located
at the Earth's
surface, the distance between the receivers is 80 m. The two-point
ray tracing from the initial surface to the receivers is managed by
history file mar-crtz.h.
The history file
generates also a plot of the calculated zero-offset two-point rays:
A picture of two-point rays (red lines) together with the
auxiliary rays (black lines) may be also generated
