Stacking velocity analysis from rugged topography
摘要
Stacking velocity analysis is generally performed under the assumption of a flat surface. However, in mountainous regions, the presence of an undulating surface violates this assumption, necessitating static corrections for stacking velocity analysis. Accurately calculating static corrections, however, is challenging, making it difficult to completely eliminate the time shifts introduced by surface topography and restore the hyperbolic time–offset relationship of the reflection. Therefore, it is crucial to minimize the use of static corrections during time-domain stacking velocity analysis. Building on previous research, we propose a method to calculate reflection wave travel time under undulating surface conditions without the need for static correction. Under the assumption of slow lateral velocity variations, the root-mean-square velocity and two-way vertical time (
