bvsp - BSU program which inverts first arrival times for a 2 layer velocity model (VSP recording)
bvsp [ -h | infile | itmax | zmin | zmax ]
Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) for inverting first arrival times. The model is horizontal layers with parameters V1, V2, and V3 (velocities), Z1 and Z2 (layer thicknesses). The inversion assumes ray tracing is appropriate, and the algorithm traces direct, refracted direct, and interface (head) waves. The non-linear inversion adjusts the association of wave type dynamically as the inversion progresses. This program is intended for shallow (engineering) down-hole, vertical seismic profiles (VSP) surveys. First break picks are taken from the seismic headers (see bpic ) and picking can be done any number of ways, including manual picking within Seismic Unix (Colorado School of Mines) or with program bpic.

infile |
Input file name | ||
|
itmax |
Number of iterations to perform in the non-linear inversion. | ||
|
zmin |
Minimum depth from which to take first arrival time picks. | ||
|
zmax |
Maximum depth from which to take first arrival time picks. |
NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input
parameters.
EXAMPLE:
bvsp twave.seg 20 0. 20.
First arrival time picks are extracted from twave.seg trace headers, and the inversion considers first arrival picks from 0 to 20 meters depth. Inversion limited to 20 iterations.
