Discussion: implementing traveltime tomography on circular geometry.

[makeabhishek]

Hi, I want to implement travel time tomography for body waves. I saw that ttcrpy used pykonal for travel time tomography.

Is it possible to use ttcrpy/pykonal to implement travel time tomography for circular geometry?

Hi @makeabhishek, Yes it is certainly possible to use PyKonal for traveltime tomography with circular geometry. I took a quick look at the ttcrpy project but do not see any references to PyKonal there. Can you provide a little more detail on what you want to do, and what relevant work has been done within the ttcrpy framework?

Thanks, Malcolm

Hi @malcolmw. Thanks for your message. It looks like I made mistake in referencing. I saw pykonal with PyVoroTomo package. Is there any example available to perform travel time tomography in pykonal? I want to do something similar to pykonal/figures/global_slice.png

Thanks, Abhi

I added a tutorial notebook that demonstrates the tomography method of Fang et al. (2020) in 2-D Cartesian coordinates.

Take a look at that notebook and see if you can adapt it to your needs. Let me know if you get stuck.

Cheers, Malcolm

Thanks Malcolm for adding the tutorial. Its helpful. For the interest linking an article by Panagiotis Koulountzios, who uses a circular geometry setup. Interesting to solve using Pykonal.

Cheers. Abhi

Thanks @makeabhishek. This is definitely possible with PyKonal. Let me know if you get stuck.
