第一个版本的 SurfSeis 软件 (v. 1.0) 发布于2000年，它包含了将面波多道分析法 (MASW) 应用于地震数据上。在堪萨斯地质调查局(KGS) 开发的MASW法主要由四个部分组成 (Miller
et al., 1999): roll-along 数据采集, 频散曲线成像(Song et
al., 1989; Park et al., 1998; Xia et al., 2007; Luo et al., 2009), 频散曲线反演获得一维横波速度（Vs）剖面 (Xia et
al., 1999), 并使用插值法
(Matheron, 1967; Olea, 1974) 将多个一维结果合成二维或三维图像 (Miller
et al., 1999; Miller et al., 2003)。
MASW 法最初是为使用主动震源数据而开发的, 又名.
"Active MASW" (Miller et al., 1999; Park et al., 1999) 。 同样的技术后来被扩展应用到被动震源数据中, 又名.
"Passive MASW" (Park et al., 2004; Park et al., 2005a; Park and
Miller, 2008; Ivanov et al., 2013; Ivanov et al., 2017a) 。接下来版本的软件
- SurfSeis 2, 3, 4, 5, 和 6 – 加入了新的研究和方法开发的功能 (http://www.kgs.ku.edu/software/surfseis/pubs_year_cn.html), 以及用户所需的更多功能选项和改进的用户界面。
随软件分发的主要手册是SurfSeis 版本
1.5。下列版本的手册只是对它们在当前版本中的新功能的描述。
SurfSeis 2 手册 (Manual2.05.pdf) 主要用于介绍使用被动
MASW 法, 正向频散曲线建模 (使用一维速度模型估计频散曲线的值) 并将其显示在频散曲线图像上 (又名, Overtone
images), 以及在频散曲线上的随机 Monte
Carlo 反演。 SurfSeis
2 手册可以作为主动和被动MASW方法的独立手册，适用于那些在体波或面波法地震数据采集与处理方面有经验的人。
SurfSeis 3 手册 (Manual3.05.pdf) 提供了有关如何选择和反演瑞利波的更高模态的信息 (除了传统的基本模态之外), 其中讨论了新开发的菜单系统，它可以使用户在使用SurfSeis的过程中拥有更好的体验 (除了以前存在的按钮驱动界面外), 并告知用户使用 USB 密钥 (又名, 硬件密钥, 密保, etc.) 的新软件许可证保护。
SurfSeis 手册
(SurfSeis4UserManual.pdf) 介绍了下一组新开发的功能，旨在提供更多工具，它们能有助于提高面波的分析质量，如滑窗被动频散曲线成像，和更便捷的二维初始模型参数输入 (即, 纵波速度 (Vp), 泊松比, 和密度), 正在进行反演的二维监控, 等。此外, v4 手册还演示了使用高分辨率线性radon变换 (Luo et
al., 2009) 时更清晰的频散曲线成像能力, SurfSeis
4.2中可以使用该变换。
SurfSeis 5 手册(SurfSeis5UserManual.pdf)
介绍了如何利用二维成像观测可变海拔和最大深度。我们发现后者对解释和避免难以注意到的外推区域有明显的帮助。HRLRT 现在可用于被动数据数据频散曲线成像，我们经常发现它在成像方面明显优于其他方法。HRLRT 也可以用于单记录处理(通常用于初始数据测试和评估)。 将频散曲线图形 (又名
频速谱或 "有效模态") 的建模和随机反演扩展到使用多达20层的
.lst 结果输入。适用于瑞利波和可选的拉夫波。Scholte波 [又名, 水下 (Kaufmann
et al., 2005; Park et al., 2005b) MASW] 建模和反演，随机 (在频散曲线图像上) 和确定 (即, 常规) 。
拉夫波 (Xia et
al., 2012b; Ivanov et al., 2017b) 建模和反演, 随机 (在频散曲线图像上) 和确定 (即, 常规), 可以在SurfSeis
5.1 和 SurfSeis
5.3版本中选择。
SurfSeis 6 手册 (SurfSeis6UserManual.pdf)
介绍了如何应用约束反演度 (例如, 利用井的测量数据), 使用Advanced
Kriging插值法拼接频散图像以提高低频和高频的水平分辨率的最终Vs估计能力。 Qs (和有条件的 Qp) 估计 (Xia et
al., 2012a; Ivanov et al., 2014; Feigenbaum et al., 2016) 来自瑞利波衰减测量的Qs (和有条件的Qp)估计, 使用常规或特殊聚焦滤波后估计衰减曲线，用于Qs（Qp）反演，这个是SurfSeis 6
中6.4 到6.7的可选功能。
