Summary
Temporal Resolution:
The time interval between the wavelets primary lobe inflection
points
The minimum two-way time through a thinning bed as measured
on a seismic trace.
Seismic Resolution of Zero-Phase Wavelets, R. S. Kallweit and L. C. Wood, Amoco Houston Division DGTS, January 12, 1977
As interval times through a thinning bed becomes less and less, how
accurately do the measured times represent the actual, vertical twoway travel times through the bed?
Seismic Resolution of Zero-Phase Wavelets, R. S. Kallweit and L. C. Wood, Amoco Houston Division DGTS, January 12, 1977
Why Zero-Phase?
The use of wavelets that are not zero-phase greatly complicates the
analysis of seismic resolution.
