Transmission Coefficient 2
Transmission Coefficient 2 : The ratio of amplitude of the transmitted wave relative to the incident wave at an sub-surface discontinuity. The coefficient is found by imposing boundary conditions that the seismic displacement and the traction acting on the discontinuity surface are continuous across the surface. These conditions physically mean a welded contact and absence of extra-seismic sources at the discontinuity. Coefficients have been defined for different normalizations and signs of the component waves, e.g. energy or displacement (Knott, 1899, and Zoeppritz, 1919). See reflection coefficient, Chapman (2002, p. 110-112), and Aki and Richards (2002 or 2009, p. 128-149)
