The Linear Stacking Slowness Method for a Field Dataset
, by John Toldi
In this paper, I present the application of the linear stacking slowness
method (Rocca and Toldi, 1982; Toldi, 1983) to the field dataset The
basic procedure is to determing stacking slownesses for as many reflectors
as possible, then perform the inversion for interval slowness. For the
dataset I present here there are only a few reflectors which cross the
entire section. I discuss the implications of thsi restriction to a few
datapoints, both theoretically and through the interpretation of my inversion
results. Finally, I discuss alternate formuklations of the linear stacking
slownes method, which would allow one to use a larger portion of the dataset
for the inversion.
