Natural variation in sound speed within ocean water can degrade sub-seabed images from 2D, 3D and 4D seismic reflection datasets. Degrading effects include vertical offset of reflections between adjacent or intersecting sail lines and difficulties in suppressing multiples from water layer reverberat...
