A technique for stabilizing interval velocities from the Dix equation
John B. DuBose · Geophysics · 1988
Abstract Interval velocities, the velocities at which sounds travel in the earth, can be computed from stacking or root-mean-square (rms) velocities by applying the Dix equation (Dix, 1955): Ij,j+1=[(Rj+12Tj+1−Rj2Tj)/(Tj+1−Tj)]1/2, where Rj are the stacking velocity picks, Tj are the associated times, and Tj,j+1 is the average interval velocity between Tj and Tj+1.
