Abstract: | The formal equivalency between a Hankel transform and an Abel transform followed by a Fourier transform is used as a basis for the computation of synthetic seismograms and for performing plane-wave decomposition of both synthetic and field seismograms. The Abel-Fourier method performs better for near-offset or small ray-parameter, although at greater computational effort than calculations based upon the asymptotic Hankel transform. |
