Abstract

AbstractThe introduction of methods for recording and processing field data in digital form on magnetic tape for subsequent processing on electronic computers will result in major improvements in geophysical prospecting techniques. This offers great advantages over analogue recording such as increased dynamic range, greater filter flexibility, more convenience in processing by correlation techniques, freedom from distortion and noise, better adaptability to automatic plotting and contouring, and greater suitability for inverse convolution procedures. Digitally recorded seismic signals can be reliably transmitted long distances by telephone circuits to central data processing centers. Electronic computers facilitate processing of gravity, magnetic, and other potential field data. Smoothing, residual, correlation, and derivative techniques for handling data in digital form can enhance speed and flexibility of processing.
