The space‐time acoustic wave motion generated by an impulsive monopole source is calculated with the aid of the Cagniard‐de Hoop technique. Two configurations with plane interfaces are discussed: an air/fluid/solid configuration with the source and the receiver located in the fluid layer; and a stack of n fluid layers between two acoustic half‐spaces where the source and the receiver are located in the upper half‐space. Synthetic seismograms are generated for the pressure of the reflected wavefield, using the source signature of an airgun.
