Method for reconstructing subsurface Q depth profiles from common offset gathers (92) of reflection seismic data by performing migration (40), ray tracing (100), CDP-to-surface takeoff angle finding (96, 98), kernel matrix construction (110), depth-to-time conversion and wavelet stretching correction (80), source amplitude spectrum fitting, centroid frequency shift calculation (90), and box-constrained optimization (120).
