SlownessModel.get_min_ray_param(depth, is_p_wave)[source]¶

Find minimum slowness, turning or 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. Also, at first order discontinuities, there may be many slowness samples at the same depth.

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
