x Traveltimes Direct wave: (from velocity = distance / time )
Refracted Wave: Snell’s Law
Different ways to express the refracted traveltime curve Intercept time
Crossover distance: Tdirect = Trefracted Xcross > 2z
Intercept Times q1c q1 q2
General multi-layer formula Layer thickness: z Layer velocity: V
Up-Dip Q Down-Dip Q
Combining Up-Dip and Down-Dip shoots with and Vd and Vu are apparent velocities!
