time delays of seismic reflection data. Refraction analysis represents the best way to establish a near-surface model from which static corrections are determined. In this thesis, the Plus-Minus time analysis method, which is based on the plus-minus method of Hagedoorn (1959), is developed to build near-surface 2-D models according to the refracted arrivals.
The Plus-Minus time analysis method has two objectives: to establish a near-surface model of the Earth in terms of subweathering layer thicknesses and seismic wave velocities; and to compute static corrections to be applied to seismic data.
The refraction analysis method used is the plus-minus method of Hagedoorn (1959), which includes the Plus time analysis for depth analysis and the Minus time analysis for velocity determination (van Overmeeran, 1987).
