obspy.taup.slowness_model.SlownessModel.get_min_turn_ray_param

SlownessModel.get_min_turn_ray_param(depth, is_p_wave)[source]

Find minimum slowness, turning but not reflected, at or above a depth.

Normally this is the slowness sample at the given depth, but if the depth is within a high slowness zone, then it may be smaller.

Parameters:

  • depth (float) – The depth to search for, in km.

  • is_p_wave (bool) – Whether to search the P (True) or S (False) wave.

Returns:

The minimum ray parameter, in s/km.

Return type:

float
