It is well known that the dip-moveout correction removes reflector point dispersal
from prestack data. A new derivation of the DMO ooperator shows this fact explicitly.
The impulse response of the new operator has an amplitude response that is qualitatively
consistent with wave theory. Synthetic results show that after stacking, the new DMO-
corrected data tends to have more uniform amplitudes for events of varying dips.
