Abstract

A

The amplitudes of reflection coefficients as computed from well velocity logs are distributed according to approximately normal laws. The distribution in time of the reflection coefficients, the absolute value of which is greater than a certain threshold, is Poissonian. The amplitudes of real seismogram traces obey a normal law.

The autocorrelation of a seismic trace is usually quite different from the autocorrelation of the corresponding impulse.
