Conversions at the surface

At a free surface the stress free boundary condition must be satisfied. As discussed in the appendix this results in $3\times3$ matrix operators that convert applied tractions to particle velocities and downgoing wave amplitudes, and operators that convert upgoing wave amplitudes into velocities and downgoing amplitudes.
\begin{eqnarraystar}
{\bf d}^1 = tracdown \cdot {\bf \sigma}_N \\ {\bf v}^1 = tracdisp \cdot {\bf \sigma}_N \\ \end{eqnarraystar}
and
\begin{eqnarraystar}
{\bf v}^1 = surfdisp \cdot {\bf u}^1 \\ {\bf d}^1 = surfrefl \cdot {\bf u}^1 \\ \end{eqnarraystar}

These four operators are required in performing steps one and six of the algorithm.
