The available seismic imaging methods are challenged by the presence of massive and complicated salt bodies. This complex overburden affects seismic wave propagation in many ways including attenuation. As a consequence, the amplitude and frequency of the recorded seismic data decay differentially with time and raypath. The differential attenuation lowers the seismic resolution and distorts the phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
