(a) Comparison of synthetic full wave between model A and model B. The receiver-to-source distance is 3.6 m. (b) Slowness-time processing reveals that the slowness extracted from the first arrival in model B is consistent with that of the collar wave, not the P wave. The white line denotes the theoretical P slowness (250 μs/m).
