Seismic waves in horizontally stratified half-space

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6709304

The reflectivity method for computing synthetic seismograms as developed by Fuchs and Mueller and extended by Kennett is modified to include both body and surface waves from a buried source in a layered half-space. Some details of the general method are presented. The vertical displacements are computed for various structures at different source locations to elucidate numerical difficulties encountered with the reflectivity method. Portions of the seismograms are interpreted in terms of reflected, refracted, and surface waves.
