SURFACE SMOOTHING WITHIN AN EARTH MODEL OF A GEOLOGICAL VOLUME OF INTEREST

摘要

Surfaces may be smoothed within an earth model of a geological volume ofinterest. More specifically, smoothingmay be done on a specific surface by smoothing or otherwise altering dipvalues without changing the position of the surface withinthe earth model. Dip values may determine certain behaviors of a surface suchas reflection and refraction of seismic energypropagating within the earth model.
