Abstract
Seismic data acquisition on high "Q" surfaces often results in very poor reflection data quality. The high amplitude, wide frequency bandwidth and scattering nature of surface waves, transmission problem associated with the reflected signal , and source and receiver coupling issues all contribute detrimentally to produce poor record quality. Two examples of a high "Q" surface are volcanics and carbonates.
