Abstract
Summary
We present a method for ray tracing in orthorhombic media formulated in terms of closed form expressions in Tsvankin parameters. This method is both computationally efficient and sufficiently accurate to produce high quality migration results. The closed form expressions may be used to compute differentials that can be used in tomography. We demonstrate the method using both a synthetic example and real data from offshore Trinidad that presents significant evidence of orthorhombic anisotropy.
