Seismic Data:

• West-East 2-D velocity model with contours PDF
  
• Dead Sea West-East line 2-D velocity model (input for C. Zelt's 2-D Ray Inverse program,see code for information details). v.in
  
• West-East line location with elevation WEline.xyz
  
• Receiver locations for both South-North (channels 1-409) and West-East (channels 410-753) lines stations.xy
  
• Ray-Path geometries by paths (PDF) and by shots (PDF) and travel time plots (PDF) for shots 4, 9, 10, 11, 12 on the West-East line (black are picked arrivals, red are best fitting corresponding arrivals for velocity model).
  
• Travel-Time picks on top of seismic refrection lines plotted from West to East. Note the time axis has a reduced velocity of 8km/sec :
