Digital ray tracing for geotomography

چکیده
The most important factor affecting the microwave proper-ties of a snowcover is the liquid water content (snow wetness). An FM-CW(26.5-40 GHz) radar has been used to investigate the influence of snowwetness on the magnitude of radar backscatter from a snowcover. Theradar backscatter measurements from a wet snowcover on a windy daysuggest that evaporative cooling due to the wind may reduce the amountof liquid water at the snowcover surface.

Ray-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملBi-directional Light Transmission Properties Assessment for Venetian Blinds: Computer Simulations Compared to Photogoniometer Measurements
An accurate evaluation of daylight distribution through advanced fenestration systems (complex glazing, solar shading systems) requires the knowledge of their Bi-directional light Transmission Distribution Function (BTDF). An innovative equipment for the experimental assessment of these bi-directional functions has been developed, based on a digital imaging detection system. An extensive set of...
متن کاملPropagation Model for RF Geotomography
A novel RF Geotomography system is introduced. RF geotomography may become a powerful tool to detect tunnels and underground cavities, thus increasing underground surveys and allowing for more efficient rescue missions. RF geotomography is based upon a set of transmitters/receivers deployed above the ground according to a known geometry. Using Diffraction Tomography techniques, a 3D image of th...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for General 3D-Seismic Body Waves (SSP and VSP Applications)
Abstract The ray series method may be generalized using a ray centered coordinate system for general 3D-heterogeneous media. This method is useful for Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) seismic modeling, seismic analysis, interpretational purposes, and comparison with seismic field observations.For each central ray (constant ray parameter), the kinematic (the eikonal) and dynamic ray tracing system ...
متن کاملVelocity Modeling in a Vertical Transversely Isotropic Medium Using Zelt Method
In the present paper, the Zelt algorithm has been extended for ray tracing through an anisotropic model. In anisotropic media, the direction of the propagated energy generally differs from that of the plane-wave propagation. This makes velocity values to be varied in different directions. Therefore, velocity modeling in such media is completely different from that in an isotropic media. The vel...
