What is it about?
This modeling uses full elastic reflectivity concepts to properly incorporate the influence of thin beds on amplitude versus angle of incidence reflectivity from a thin layer (relative to the wavelength).

Why is it important?
The models are more fully capture the behavior of the thin lay reflections better than can be accomplished with ray theory and Zoepritz equations. A sister paper that looks at similar issues in terms of scale and layered anisotropy may also be of interest - 65. Liu, Y. and D.R.
