Inconsistent definition of initial conditions for multilayer tidal shooting method #31

Closed jrenaud90 closed 7 months ago

jrenaud90 commented 2 years ago

There is a mismatch in definitions between TS72 Eq. 99 (Takeuchi, H., and M. Saito (1972), Seismic surface waves, Methods Comput. Phys., 11, 217–295.) and KMN15 Eq. B13 (Kamata+ (2015; JGR-P; DOI: 10.1002/2015JE004821)) for the initial guess used in the shooting method for solid layers. TS72 has a "minus/plus" for k2 whereas KMN has a "plus/minus" basically flipping solution 1 and 2.
