Rayleigh wave dispersion and shear wave speed

Sensitivity of Rayleigh wave dispersion to shear wave speed for a model consisting of one layer over an infinite half-space. Synthetic shot records (not shown) were generated by Tong Fei's elastic 2D modeling code (sufctanismod.c) and dispersion curves computed using Park's method as implemented by C. Liner (suphasevel.c). Both codes are distributed with the Seismic Un*x free processing system).
