Abstract
The relative amplitudes of seismic reflection data contains very useful information about the subsurface earth formations. Surface and subsurface-consistent amplitude processing identifies and corrects for the variability introduced by instrumentation and surface distortions. Dynamic amplitude decomposition, the subject of this disclosure, identifies and compensates for reflection amplitude fading due to subsurface transmission absorption media.
