Abstract By introducing a new parameter, slowness deviation, a ray-path-length-dependent slowness model has been previously developed. Synthetic tests indicate that for a horizontal layered slowness structure, the new model gives a good estimate of the weighted average slowness of a ray when the rays considered cover a small range of take-off angles. When the rays considered cover a large range of take-off angles, the new model gives good estimates of the weighted average slowness for the long rays, but large errors still remain for the short rays.
