The analysis of oblique reflection data
C. W. Horton · Geophysics · 1945
Abstract In regions where the reflecting layers have large dips it is difficult to interpret reflection data if the shot-point and the instrument-spread do not coincide. In this paper rigorous methods of locating the reflection-point and of determining the magnitude and direction of the dip are given. Two approximate solutions are discussed in detail and by means of theoretical considerations and numerical examples it is shown that the errors introduced by the approximations are adequately small.
