OCTAVE direct.m - Determination of overburden velocity by direct arrivals
direct prompts for:
System matrix
file, Data file, Elevation file (GUI Entry Box)
Number of shots (GUI Entry Box)
Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) program run in Octave or Matlab. Within an octave session, type direct and a GUI entry box will pop up with the names of 3 files to process. These include a system matrix (G001), a data vector with observed first arrivals (D001), an elevations file (E001). You may need to change these file names depending on line number used in bref. Next a GUI entry box will ask for the number of shot profiles. It is assumed that the bref run selected a range of near offsets where direct waves are likely to arrive before refracted arrivals. More than one shot gather can be processed simultaneously to obtain a best fit to the overburden velocity. Run direct.m before delaytm.m so that an estimate of overburden velocity is available when doing the refraction problem.
