obspy.taup.slowness_layer.create_from_vlayer

create_from_vlayer(v_layer, is_p_wave, radius_of_planet, is_spherical=True)[source]

Compute the slowness layer from a velocity layer.

Parameters:

v_layer (numpy.ndarray, dtype = obspy.taup.velocity_layer.VelocityLayer) – The velocity layer to convert.
is_p_wave (bool) – Whether this velocity layer is for compressional/P (True) or shear/S (False) waves.
radius_of_planet (float) – The radius of the planet to use, in km.
is_spherical (bool) – Whether the model is spherical. Non-spherical models are not currently supported.
