Note how we are sampling the same

piece of earth

Different ways to slice it

(y, h = 0, t) zero-offset section

(y, h = hmin, t) near-trace section

(y, h = const, t) constant-offset section

(y, h = hmax, t) far-trace section

(y = const, h, t) common-midpoint gather

(s = const, g, t) field profile (or common-shot gather)

(s, g = const, t) common-geophone gather

(s, g, t = const) time slice

(h, y, t = const) time slice

A diagram of slice names is in Figure 1.1. Figure 1.2 shows three slices from

the data volume. The first mode of display is “engineering drawing mode.” The

second mode of display is on the faces of a cube. But notice that although the

data is displayed on the surface of a cube, the slices themselves are taken from the

interior of the cube. The intersections of slices across one another are shown by

dark lines.

A common-depth-point (CDP) gather is defined by the industry and by common

usage to be the same thing as a common-midpoint (CMP) gather. But in this book

a distinction will be made. A CDP gather is a CMP gather with its time axis
