Modeling of free-surface multiples • Using the data as modeling operator: • Tutorial • Case study example • Discussion

Requirement for sources and receivers at the same locations … • Heuristics: • Don’t convolve traces which are ``too far apart’’ • Bandpass and dip-filter traces as function of their distance • Estimate ``plane-wave components” from the data and use these to compute the multiple model • Sx D(, s,x)P(,x,g)~Sp D(, s,p)P(,p,g) • x : space coordinate • p : spatial wavenumber or ray-parameter (ps or pg)

Further work • Effect of position errors (non-coincident sources and receivers) on synthetics: • Use source and receiver positions from the field data; • Specifications for maximum feathering during acquisition • Display/Filter intermediate results when computing the multiple model • Investigate computing the multiple model by convolving plane wave components • Local plane-wave decompositions within CRG/CSG gathers? • Could handle also interpolation of missing near-offsets?
