Abstract

Yokoyama makes some comments on the "numerical distance" contained in the surface wave term in the paper by King and Sandler (see ibid., vol.42, p.383, 1994) comparing it with the one obtained by former authors. He comments on the parameter P in the Fresnel-integral term in the paper. Yokoyama concludes that for the calculation of such a problem in a semi-sphere, the spherical polar coordinate system is preferable to the cylindrical coordinate system including the case of lateral waves. King and Sandler reply to the Comment.<>
