A modified first-motion approximation for the synthesis of body-wave seismograms

Abstract

Modified first-motion approximations have been developed for the generation of synthetic body-wave seismograms using the Cagniard-de Hoop method. Comparisons are presented between classical first motion, modified first motion and full Cagniard treatments for problems involving a homogeneous sphere and a triplication in a realistic earth model. Results of these comparisons show that the modified first-motion approximations may be used for a wide variety of geophysically interesting problems with little loss of accuracy compared to the full Cagniard method.
