Error in TauPy Model: The Phase "ScScS"

[jeritsema]

I noticed that the taup routines work fine for the phase "ScScS" (i.e., NOT ScSScS). See below. The taup_path for ScScS is also strange. Philip Crotwell's TauP package has the same issue and I reported the bug to Philip as well. Perhaps there is something wrong in the phase parser?

from obspy.taup import TauPyModel
scs_times = TauPyModel( model="ak135" ).get_travel_times( 0, 0, phase_list=["ScS","ScScS","ScSScS"] )
print (scs_times)
3 arrivals
ScS phase arrival at 935.771 seconds
ScScS phase arrival at 1265.670 seconds
ScSScS phase arrival at 1871.542 seconds

Cheers,
Jeroen
