Transformation of amplitudes at an interface between two inhomogeneous weakly anisotropic media

Veronique Farra & Ivan Psencik

Summary

We perform an important step to extend the applicability of the first-order ray tracing (FORT) and dynamic ray tracing (FODRT) procedures to laterally varying layered, weakly anisotropic media. We present formulae for transformation of the amplitude of an incident P or coupled S wave into the amplitudes of reflected and transmitted P and coupled S waves.

Keywords
