We discuss and develop further the methods of surface wave tomography in the frame of the geometric say approximation. the general approach for determining the lateral phase or group velocity distribution, which is a standard 2-D tomography problem, involves linearization, representation of the unknown function as series in some basis functions, and evaluation of the coefficients by the methods of linear algebra. If the wave paths cover the area under investigation non-uniformly, the basis functions should not be chosen a priori, but constructed proceeding from the pattern of paths. Different criteria for constructing the basis functions are compared, and a relation between them is considered.A more preferable approach is joint interpretation of phase and group velocity data for different periods, because it allows the information about phase velocity variations to be enlarged due to the use of the group velocity data. Both the phase and group traveltimes are represented as linear functionals of the unknown phase slowness corrections. A specific form of the data kernels allows the basis functions to be represented as a product of two functions, one depending on the horizontal coordinates, and the other on frequency.
