    Abstract:
    Seismic refraction profiles across and along the San Andreas fault zone near Palmdale, California were used to establish propagation paths for several phases whose travel times are being monitored for earthquake precursors. The profiles were generated using an airgun submerged in Bouquet Reservoir, together with surface and borehole geophone receivers. Using the ray parameters and surface travel-time curves, velocity structures parallel and transverse to the fault zone have been constructed
