Comparison of the 2011 and 1981 results

Figures 6 and 13 are the results by GSI using proprietary software in 1981 and the results obtained using SU. Some of the differences in the processing sequences are:
  1. The 1981 processing used GSI's designature process. This source signature removal technique applies the same operator to all traces in a shotrecord. The filter is designed differently from conventional deconvolution and the two types of deconvolution will not produce data with the same phase.
  2. There are many differences in the application of AGC. For example GSI applied AGC before velocity filtering and inverse AGC after velocity filter.
  3. GSI used diversity stack to control the high amplitude noise bursts.
Considering all these differences, I think the results are surprisingly similar, especially below 400 ms. The shallow results are better on the 1981 processing.
