Abstract

A system of ordinary differential equations is obtained for numerical integration of velocity rays in 3D inhomogeneous anisotropic media. The velocity ray Þeld describes the changes in isochron positions and slowness vectors when a model parameter is allowed to vary. Generation of accurate velocity rays has a potential in sensitivity studies, velocity model updating, and in propagation of Fresnel volume boundaries and seismic depth images.
