Seismic Reflection and Refraction Methods

Active
By Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center October 23, 2020

Seismic reflection and refraction methods are major tools in natural hazard assessments. Useful tools were developed to aid in processing and modeling of these data.

RayGUI is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows you to interactively edit velocity models and ray-tracing parameters. Ray-tracing is performed by invoking rayinvr from the GUI. After ray-tracing is completed, RayGUI displays observed and modeled traveltimes, and optionally, rays. RayGUI is written in JAVA, rayinvr in FORTRAN77, and auxiliary programs in FORTRAN 77 and ANSI-C.

RayGUI 2.0: a graphical user interface for interactive forward and inversion ray-tracing

Authors
Jian-Li Song, Uri S. ten Brink

Nonlinear refraction and reflection travel time tomography

We develop a rapid nonlinear travel time tomography method that simultaneously inverts refraction and reflection travel times on a regular velocity grid. For travel time and ray path calculations, we apply a wave front method employing graph theory. The first-arrival refraction travel times are calculated on the basis of cell velocities, and the later refraction and reflection travel...

Characteristics and processing of seismic data collected on thick, floating ice: Results from the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica

Coincident reflection and refraction data, collected in the austral summer of 1988/89 by Stanford University and the Geophysical Division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand, imaged the crust beneath the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The Ross Ice Shelf is a unique acquisition environment for seismic reflection profiling because of its thick, floating ice...
