Numerical Experiment on Migration using 45° Wave Equation

45°파동 방정식을 이용한 마이그레이숀 실험

This paper presents numerical experiments on migration of synthetic seismograms using by $45^{\circ}$ wave equation. The seismograms used are zero-offset seismogram (corresponding to stacked section) on point reflectors, dipping plane reflector, faulted and folded layers. The seismograms are constructed by upward continuation of seismic source wavelets, exploading on subsurface reflection interfaces, to the earth surface. The synthetic seismograms are migrated by downward continuation and imaging. The upward and downward continuations are implemented by solving the $45^{\circ}$ wave equation with the finite-difference method. Migration of the synthetic data used in this study results in relatively accurate reposition of subsurface structures while the synthetic sections are quite different from the structures.
