ABSTRACT:
Explicit depth extrapolation operators are constructed with variable operator lengths depending on maximum dip angle, accuracy condition, and wavenumber. Operator tables are then constructed using the explicit depth extrapolation operators. In a further embodiment, depth migration is performed using the explicit depth extrapolation operators from the operator tables.
