摘要
The ray path of a P-wave is specified in terms of the ray parameter and three Euler angles. The P-wave traveltime depends only on the ray parameter for a spherically symmetric earth. If we introduce an aspherical perturbation, including general anisotropy, the dependence on Euler angles can be expanded in terms of the rotation matrix for a fixed ray parameter. If the perturbation is isotropic, the expansion coefficients satisfy certain relations which may be used to obtain definite evidence for anisotropy rather than isotropic lateral heterogeneity. Key words: anisotropy, body wave, tomography.
