  9. Summary • Compute traveltime fields t(x,z) for each • Src. By a FD soln of Eikonal eqn. 2. t(x,z) used for traveltime tomography and migration. 3. First arrival energy not most energetic. Warning for migrationists. 4. First arrival energy for tomographers.

  13. Beware Caustics: zero area, phase change x 0th-Order Shooting Ray Tracing Green’s Function 1. Shoot two neighboring rays from x’. 2. Measure area A(x|x’) at x x’ 3. G(x’|x) = W(t-T )/A(x|x’) A(x|x’)

  14. Interpolation Interpolation Summary • Compute traveltime fields t(x,z) for each • Src. By a FD soln of Ray Equations. 2. t(x,z) used for traveltime tomography and migration. 3. Good for migration, avoid head waves. 3. Does not accurately handle caustics. Higher-order ray theory needed such as Maslov or Gaussian Beam.
