Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Geotechnology Date 2007-04-30 Abstract The statics problem, whether short wavelength, long wavelength, residual, or trim, has always been one of the more time-consuming and problematic steps in seismic data processing. We routinely struggle with issues such as poor signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, cycle skipping, truncated refractors, wavelets with ambiguous first arrival times, etc. Elevation variations create their own problems and impact the choice of datum—floating, phantom or recourse to a zero-velocity layer. Even if we can overcome some of these problems, we still have a “catch 22” situation in which accurate velocity estimation requires good statics, while good statics estimation requires accurate velocities. To characterize these ambiguities, we have come up the oxymoron “time-varying statics.” Subject geophysical techniquesseismologyseismic wavesgeophysical signal processingstatics To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:389fad21-46c3-4368-bf75-ea6f7b1f8586 DOI https://doi.org/10.1190/1.2723200 Publisher Society of Exploration Geophysicists ISSN 1070-485X Source The Leading Edge, 26 (4), 2007 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type journal article Rights © 2007 Society of Exploration Geophysicists Files PDF Berkhout_2007.pdf 657.1 KB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:389fad21-46c3-4368-bf75-ea6f7b1f8586/datastream/OBJ/view
