These c o e f f ic ie n ts wore checked by Clee for con

servation of energy. Further checks were possible by

comparing waves which are supposed to be dynamically equi

valent (Cerveny (1962)). For exampley the displacements

dtoe to the ^ and ^ waves In a layerever e ha lf space must be dynamically equivalent (see section

S . 3 ) .

In addition we note as a consequence of the direction

of p o s i t iv e Z that i f we interchange subscripts 1 and 2

denoting the medium we must also change the sign of the

c o e f f ic ie n t s A? i f the wave i s of type R PS »x /?S(D .

Thus wo have, i f we interchange subscripts but

keep 2 p o s i t iv e in the original d irection

Eeeh value of j defines a sub-suite . Thus a suite of order K has /< «* sub-suites eorresponding to the nunber of possible head wave paths.

Consider the su ite or order 2. At a d irest arrival a l l sub-suites for that ray are the sane. The calculation of Sv for the three sub-suites is simply a natter of geometry between in ter faces (see Figures (4.1?), (4.13) and (4 .14)) and Snell* s Law. The- real parts of ^ are related by geometry and the complex parts are seen to be equal between interfaces.

For complex ^ we simply took y •* 2 as the d i f f erence between the ^ are small for th is region. For real ^ ^ was ahosen according to the saheme of equation (4 .43).

F in a l ly , we approximated higher order su ites by

simply taking the form of the direct arrival.Thus wc suppose that
