Synthetic Rayleigh Wave Seismograms (waves)

The program waves can be used to generate either a vertical or horizontal in-line component synthetic seismogram. Only the Rayleigh waves are computed (no body waves). The program waves is a programming of the equations found in Aki and Richards ((1) chapter 7). Details on the programming are also found in Michaels (8). The use of synthetic Rayleigh wave seismograms is presented in Michaels (14).

IMPORTANT You need to run program disper before running this program since it needs the results of the dispersion computation. Program waves will compute group velocities and seismic traces in BSU's BSEGY format.
