Where:
Fn = The nth Fresnel Zone radius in metres
d1 = The distance of P from one end in metres
d2 = The distance of P from the other end in metres
= The wavelength of the transmitted signal in metres
For example, for a velocity of 4000 m/s, a two-way time of 1.0 s and a frequency of 50 Hz, we have w =
141 m!
In principle, the horizontal resolution of migrated seismic data is equal to the spatial Nyquist
wavenumber (i.e., twice the CMP trace spacing - typically about 10 m). In practice, this horizontal
resolution is never achieved, and a resolution of about 3-4 traces (typically 30-40 m) is more realistic.
Additional notes on salt domes:
-Deeply buried salt is often less dense than the overlying strata, and is therefore subject to buoyancy
forces.
-Although in hand specimens halite is solid, over geologic time salt behaves like a viscous fluid.
-Salt domes can be subdivided into swells (does not pierce overlying strata) or diapirs (overlying units
are breached).
-Stratigraphic thickening of adjacent beds can be used to deduce timing of diapirsm.
