The problem of determining the velocity of transverse waves in an array of geological medium by measuring the time of propagation of a seismic signal from a pulsed source in the form of PS converted waves with conversion of a P-wave incident signal on a flat subhorizontal acoustically contrasting boundary of elastic media is considered. The peculiarity of the consideration is the use of an algebraically exact solution of the parametrically specified PS beam traveltime equations together with the consideration of the conversion wave coefficients.
