GLOBAL UPDATING SCHEME

With the local computations for propagating wavefronts, the attributes of wavefronts can be found throughout the grid by following a global updating scheme. The global updating scheme describes the order in which local wavefront propagations proceed. This section presents a scheme that assumes a point source on the earth's surface. However, it is not difficult to generalize the scheme to an arbitrary source position.
