    Notes: We consider multiply covered traveltimes of first or later arrivals which are gathered along a refraction seismic profile. The two-dimensional distribution of these traveltimes above a coordinate frame generated by the shotpoint axis and the geophone axis or by the common midpoint axis and the offset axis is named a traveltime field.The application of the principle of reciprocity to the traveltime field implies that for each traveltime value with a negative offset there is a corresponding equal value with positive offset. In appendix A procedures are demonstrated which minimize the observational errors of traveltimes inherent in particular traveltime branches or complete common shotpoint sections.The application of the principle of parallelism to an area of the traveltime field associated with a particular refractor can be formulated as a partial differential equation corresponding to the type of the vibrating string. The solution of this equation signifies that the two-dimensional distribution of these traveltimes may be generated by the sum of two one-dimensional functions which depend on the shotpoint coordinate and the geophone coordinate. Physically, these two functions may be interpreted as the mean traveltime branches of the reverse and the normal shot. In appendix B procedures are described which compute these two functions from real traveltime observations by a least-squares fit.The application of these regressed traveltime field data to known time-to-depth conversion methods is straightforward and more accurate and flexible than the use of individual traveltime branches. The wavefront method, the plus-minus method, the generalized reciprocal method and a ray tracing method are considered in detail. A field example demonstrates the adjustment of regressed traveltime fields to observed traveltime data. A time-to-depth conversion is also demonstrated applying a ray tracing method.
