[CIG-SEISMO] MINEOS question

[Martin van Driel]

Hi Evan,

I am having the very same problem you posted to the CIG-SEISMO mailing 
list in October. Did you finally find a solution to this?

I am testing different models that I generate based on the software that 
I want to benchmark (AXISEM) and it seems that some models have less 
problems then others, but I don't see any systematics. As soon as I want 
to go to higher frequencies then 30mHz it seems to be more or less 
random whether it works or not.

The other thing I am worrying about in this context is the "raylquo" 
output in the output of minos brans: according to the manual it should 
be on the order of "eps", but there are always modes where it goes up to 
the order of 1, no matter what eps I choose as input.

Any hint would be apreciated,
Thanks,
Martin van Driel
