Summary The accuracy of a new method of determining the seismic interval velocities from variable angle reflection (sonobuoy) records is derived. This new method, which uses the exact geometric ray path equations for a multilayered medium, taking account of refraction between layers and dipping interfaces, is then compared with the previous approximate method of Dix.
