Tube waves are low-velocity, large-amplitude later events propagating along the interface between the borehole wall and the borehole fluid. They can be generated by the incident compressional wave energy from a surface source near the borehole, a source within the borehole, or a compressional wave in the surrounding solid passing any major discontinuity in the borehole.
