Mathematical models
Three thin layers model
Model consists of three thin layers. The velocity is 3 km/s in the media and 4 km/s in the layers.

Two layers model
The velocity is 3 km/s in the upper media and 4 km/s in the down media.

Hard and soft diifractors model
The left diffractor has reduced velocity by 0.1 km/s w.r.t. background velocity 3.0 km/s , the right one has increased velocity by 0.1 km/s
