Abstract

A

For a 3D velocity model of curved first order interfaces and layer velocities which are arbitrary smooth functions of the space coordinates, the normal moveout (NMO)‐velocity can be computed by numerically integrating a system of first order ordinary differential equations for a hypothetical wavefront that originates at the normal incidence point of the normal ray and moves up along the ray to the common mid‐point of the common datum point (CDP) profile.
