| Description: | We had three deployments in Kenya (1985, 1989/90 and 1993) for passive recording of teleseisms. The event files with the waveforms are still available. For doing ACH-type teleseismic travel-time tomography, Dr. Achauer (now Strasbourg) and I used arrival times of P phases (P, PP, PKP, PcP, PKKP). However, we often did not pick the first onset but the first well-correlated Up or Down. As we use relative travel-time residuals and not absolute travel-time residuals, we sometimes have phases some seconds after the first break. |
