The space-time ray method is used to describe the propagation of Love and Rayleigh surface waves in a layered elastic half-space. The characteristics of the half-space are assumed to vary slowly in the horizontal direction. A slight curvature of the free boundary and of the interfaces between layers are considered. The surface waves are treated as a group of nearly harmonic waves.
