DISC Book Errata *****************
p xi ... SeismicUn*x is
open source software not public domain software
p 37... Figure 1(c) legend is mis-labled for phase and group velocity. Light gray is group velocity, dark gray is phase velocity.
p 38... Chap 3 Eq 21 see correction below in red
p 38... Chap 3 Eq 22 see correction below in red
•p 42... left side of Eq 23 should be zero not R
p 55... Chap 4 Eq 9 is an invertible set of relationships between stiffness and Thomsen parameters, but the quadratic terms in the definition of delta require a choice of sign. For details see Tsvankin's 2012 book
Seismic Signatures and Analysis of Reflection Data in Anisotropic Media (p 19).
•p 73... para 2 reference should be Nagaoka (1906) as correctly given in the reference list
p 75... Table 2 wave equation (WE) entries for
Time--dependent moduli should read "Linear"
p 80... Figure 2 vertical axis label should read: "1000/Q or Log(velocity)"
p 83... Figure 3 vertical axis label should read: "1000/Q or Log(velocity)"
p 121... Figure 12c velocity profile should decrease with depth as shown below:
