Translations:Seismic interpretation - book/8/en

The distinguishing features of various types of events are well documented, but by far the most important type of event is a primary reflection. A primary-reflection event is a lineup of traces that indicates the arrival of energy that has traveled a direct path from the surface to a reflecting interface and then back to the surface. An interpreter picks or selects an event on a seismic record — for example, a reflection event. A pick is an event on the trace, along with its time of occurrence (i.e., the arrival time).
