Abstract
Determination of the depth of a source is based on analysis of the first phases of the recording — in particular, on the difference between the arrival times pP — P and sP — P. But the first arrivals can also contain other converted and reflected waves which complicate the wave field in the vicinity of the first arrivals.
Translated from Vychislitel’naya Seismologiya, No. 2, Moscow, Nauka, (1966), pp. 83–94.
