The focus in Durham over the last few weeks has been to check the configuration of the seismic experiment. Synthetic travel time data were produced by ray-tracing a 2D model of the oceanic crust. The data also provide a reference for arrival identification once the real data have been collected.
The next step is to produce synthetic seismic records using an approximation for the source wavelet, and to consider different ways of modelling energy propagation through the irregular structure of the extrusive basalts in crustal layer 2A.
