Enhancing Shallow Seismic Reflection Profiles Using Nonlinear Correlation: Applications to the New Jersey Margin.

Abstract

Some older Multichannel Seismic data recorded on the shallow continental shelf do not properly image the upper few 100 m. This is due to a large (approx. 200 m) minimum source receiver offset. Nonlinear Correlation, used successfully for other seismic processing was not able to correct the data. The use of a short (Approx. 30 m) minimum source receiver offset produces excellent seismic images of the upper sediments.
