Trace Interpolation and INMO

After the deconvolution and bandpass filtering, I apply a linear interpolation at the near-offset traces to even the group spacing to 50 m at all offsets and thus eliminate the traveltime kink introduced by the non-linear streamer. The data is then inverse NMO corrected and the previously applied spherical divergence correction is removed. The data is then passed to a prestack time migration.
