Progress in seismic inversion and processing in anisotropic media depends on our ability to relate different seismic signatures to the anisotropic parameters. While the conventional notation (stiffness coefficients) is suitable for forward modeling, it is inconvenient in developing analytic insight into the influence of anisotropy on wave propagation. Here, a consistent description of P‐wave signatures in transversely isotropic (TI) media with arbitrary strength of the anisotropy is given in terms of Thomsen notation. The influence of transverse isotropy on P‐wave propagation is shown to be practically independent of the vertical S‐wave velocity VS0, even in models with strong velocity variations. Therefore, the contribution of transverse isotropy to P‐wave kinematic and dynamic signatures is controlled by just two anisotropic parameters, e and δ, with the vertical velocity VP0 being a scaling coefficient in homogeneous models. The distortions of reflection moveouts and amplitudes are not necessarily corr...
