ABSTRACT:
Pressure and velocity seismic signals are combined, the combined signal is transformed into the frequency domain and multiplied by the inverse Backus operator or the combined signal is convolved with the inverse Backus operator, and an optimization algorithm is utilized to solve for water bottom reflectivity. Pressure and velocity seismic signals are combined, and the combined signal is multiplied by the inverse Backus operator containing the water bottom reflectivity to eliminate first order peg leg multiples.
