Weak-Anisotropy Approximation Of P-Wave Geometric Spreading In Horizontally Layered Anisotropic Media Of Arbitrary Symmetry: Tilted Transversely Isotropic Specification
GEOPHYSICS(2021)
Abstract
Understanding the role of geometric spreading and estimating its effects on seismic wave propagation play an important role in several techniques used in seismic exploration. The spreading can be estimated through dynamic ray tracing or determined from reflection traveltime derivatives. In the latter case, derivatives of nonhyperbolic moveout approximations are often used. We offer an alternative approach based on the weak-anisotropy approximation. The resulting formula is applicable to P-waves reflected from the bottom of a stack of horizontal layers, in which each layer can be of arbitrary anisotropy. At an arbitrary surface point, the formula depends, in each layer, on the thickness of the layer,
