Tips for running PRONTO
If you start with a new vel.init file,
PRONTO will not do an
inversion.
I think the problem may be with the
coordinates in the vel.init file.
When I first created a vel.init file,
my coordinates were at simple grid nodes, like:
-1.000000 -0.695100 300.000000 -0.500000 -0.695100 300.000000After one run, the coordinates in vel.fin correspond to the nodes in the PRONTO model, for example:
-1.207300 -0.6952000 1149.422 -0.9572999 -0.6952000 1148.259The solution is to change the velocities in the vel.fin file to the desired initial velocities.
Error! - No exit option selected in RAYCROSS. Receiver no. = 28 Raypath entering cell: i= 7 j= 32 Raypath abandoned! Error! - No exit option selected in RAYCROSS. Receiver no. = 29 Raypath entering cell: i= 7 j= 32 Raypath abandoned!This large a gradient may be too much for the finite difference forward modeller to handle. I decreased the upper velocity to 1000 m/s and got the program to run to completion.
I can't get the program to run with grid spacing less than 0.1. Here's the error message:
LSQR iteration = 19 relative error = nan LSQR iteration = 20 relative error = nan LSQR iteration = 21 relative error = nan LSQR iteration = 22 relative error = nan LSQR iteration = 23 relative error = nan LSQR iteration = 24 relative error = nan LSQR iteration = 25 relative error = nan Slowness model updated. Iteration number = 2 Begin forward computations: Source number 1: Traveltimes done. Error! - No exit option selected in RAYCROSS.

Error! - No exit option selected in RAYCROSS. Receiver no. = 3 Raypath entering cell: i= 11 j= 205 Raypath abandoned!Could the problem be in the LSQR routine? Or perhaps in raystart or raycross?
I am not clear on the significance of the weighting values for the constraint equations. How large can they be > 100. What is the difference between 10 and 100 in terms of the constraints?
