SlownessModel.find_depth_from_depths(ray_param, top_depth, bot_depth, is_p_wave)[source]¶

Find depth corresponding to a slowness between two given depths.

The given depths are converted to layer numbers before calling find_depth_from_layers().

Parameters:	ray_param (float) Slowness (aka ray parameter) to find, in s/km. top_depth (float) Top depth to search, in km. bot_depth (float) Bottom depth to search, in km. is_p_wave (bool) True if P wave or False for S wave.
Returns:	Depth (in km) corresponding to the desired slowness.
Return type:	float
Raises SlownessModelError:
	If top_critical_layer > bot_critical_layer because there are no layers to search, or if there is an increase in slowness, i.e., a negative velocity gradient, that just balances the decrease in slowness due to the spherical planet, or if the ray parameter p is not contained within the specified layer range.
