Previously, we developed a sparseness-goaled decon method.
Here we test it on six data sets.
None showed the unfortunate phase-shift we always see with minimum-phase decon.
None showed the polarity reversals or time shifts
that perplexed our earlier work.
Results on all six data sets enhance polarity visibility.
We had expected to see sparseness decon limit the bandwidth in some natural way
unlike prediction-error decon with its white output.
Instead, in all the cases our sparseness decon boosted frequencies much the way predictive decon does.
We had not expected to see an estimated shot waveform containing
a lot of low-frequency sea surface waves.
One such result provoked a new theoretical development not yet tested (
Claerbout and Guitton, 2012).
