    Notes: The accuracy of the two most common arrival time functions used in seismic velocity estimation is investigated. It is shown that the hyperbolic arrival time function is more accurate than the parabolic arrival time function for a horizontally layered elastic medium. An upper bound on the difference between the two arrival time functions is given.A maximum-likehood detector for estimating the arrival time of the signals is given. For the signal-in-noise model that is used the maximum-likelihood detector is equivalent to a least-squares detector which corresponds to using the signal energy as coherency measure. The semblance coefficient corresponds to a normalized least-squares detector. The semblance coefficient is very similar to a filter performance measure that is used in least-squares filter design.

    Notes: The proposed system works as follows:〈list xml:id="l1" style="custom"〉1By a trial-and-error procedure using a graphic display terminal a geologically relevant layer sequence with parameters (ρj, dj) is adjusted to yield roughly the measured curve.2The resulting layer sequence is used as starting model for an iterative least squares procedure with singular value decomposition. Minimization of the sum of the squares of the logarithmic differences between measured and calculated values with respect to the logarithms of the resistivities and thicknesses as parameters linearizes the problem to a great extent, with two important implications:〈list xml:id="l2" style="custom"〉a) a considerable increase in speed (the number of iterations goes down), thus making it cheap to achieve the optimum solution;b) the confidence surfaces in parameter space are well approximated by the hyper-ellipsoids defined by the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the normal equations.Since these are known from the singular value decomposition we do in fact know all possible solutions compatible with the measured curve and the geological concept.〈list xml:id="l3" style="custom"〉3It is possible to “freeze” any combination of parameters at predetermined values. Thus extra knowledge and/or hypotheses are easily incorporated and can be tested by rerunning step (2). The overall computing time for a practical case is of the order of 10 sec on a CDC 6400.

    Notes: Ott and Meder's prediction error filter can be rederived so that it correctly handles input noise vectors which are of smaller dimension than the state vector. The poor performance obtained by Ott and Meder for their example can be explained by means of the error covariance matrix for the prediction error filter.

    Notes: The contribution of electromagnetic phase comparison techniques to distance measuring is reviewed in an historical context. Special emphasis is accorded the new class of near infra-red electro-optic instruments suited to the measurement of distances under 2 km with an accuracy of a few millimetres. Principles of operation, sources of error, and practical applications are discussed.

    Notes: A magnetotelluric digital equipment has been designed and built for operation in geophysical and applied geophysical research. The five components of the natural electromagnetic field can be digitized in the frequency range 1/1000 Hz (magnetic sensor's response limits) to some tens Hz.The magnetotelluric (MT) data are directly digitized in the field and stored in a cassette tape recorder.

    Notes: An electromagnetic frequency sounding experiment with a rigid horizontal transmitter coil carrying a stabilized oscillating current was carried out in South Tunesia.The field data were interpreted in terms of the mutual impedance ratio in the horizontal coils system. Where the measurements were sufficiently accurate they generally could be interpreted to a high degree of fit. It is concluded that a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic frequency sounding system is suitable for a fast survey.

    Notes: The application of approximate rules, whereby apparent resistivity space sections for two dimensional structures can be composited from spaces derived for elementary features is extended to a complex example drawn from a field survey over a fluorite mineral vein.A quantitative solution for the observed resistivity space is presented and the computational sequence involved in matching the observed space is given in detail.The interpreted results are examined in relation to the known geology, supplemented by the results of excavation, and to model tests conducted using a tank analogue.The example also illustrates how successive compositions can be employed in estimating the form of resistivity space in a relatively complex situation.

    Notes: The sampling theorem in two dimensions univocally defines a surface, provided that its values are known at points disposed on a regular lattice. If the data are irregularly spaced, the usual procedure is first to interpolate the surface on a regular grid and then to contour the interpolated data: however, the resulting surface will not necessarily assume the prescribed values on the irregular grid.One way to obtain this result is to introduce a transformation of the coordinates such that all the original data points are transferred into part of the nodes of a regular grid. The surface is then interpolated in the points correspondent to the other crosspoints of the regular grid; the contour lines are determined in the transformed plane and then, using the inverse coordinate transformation, are transferred back to the original plane where they will certainly be congruent with the original data points.Nonetheless, the resulting surface is very sensitive to the interpolation method used: two algorithms for that are analyzed. The first (harmonization) corresponds to the determination of the potential of an electrical field whose contour conditions are those defined by the data points. The second method consists in two dimensional statistical estimation (krigeing); in particular, the effects of different choices for the data auto-covariance function are discussed.The solutions are compared and some practical results are shown.

    Notes: Optimum stacking filters based on estimates of trace signal-to-uncorrelated noise ratios are assessed and compared in performance with conventional straight stacking. It is shown that for the trace durations and signal bandwidths normally encountered in seismic reflection data the errors in estimating signal/noise ratios largely counteract the theoretical advantages of the optimum filter. The more specific the filter (e.g. the more frequency components included in its design) the more this is true. Even for a simple weighted stack independent of frequency, the performance is likely to be better than a straight (equal weights) stack only for relatively high signal/noise ratios, when the performance is not critical anyway.
