Classical deconvolution is a process which uses the spectrum of the data but
ignores the envelope of the data. Wiggins' MED deconvolution is sensitive to
the envelope of the output seismic traces but ignores the spectrum. Unlike
classical decon, MED tells you what color is best to use to display your
seismic traces. In practice, and perhaps in theory, MEd cannot achieve the
reliability of classical decon. In this paper it is shown how the envelope-
sensing, color-defining properties of MED can be built into a stable minimu-
squares framework.
