Wedge model



A synthetic seismic section used to study the seismic attributes of a triangular (wedge) shaped impedance section.

For a given wavelet, a wedge model provides the following information useful for quantitative seismic interpretation:


 * Onset of tuning thickness,
 * Thickness at which tuning is a maximum,
 * Vertical resolution,
 * Travel time shift below tuning thickness,
 * Amplitude decay below tuning thickness, ([destructive interference])
