Perhaps the single most important reason that multicomponent data are not as widely used as vertical P-wave data is the stronger attenuation of S-waves. Accordingly a primary objective in multicomponent processing is to elicit the maximum bandwidth possible from the data.
Two recent studies have brought this subject again to the fore, and have made claims regarding important concepts related to the process of mapping PS data to PP time. In this talk we will consider the validity of these recent studies in the literature and address a number of both basic and advanced questions:
Why do we do PS-to-PP mapping?
What is the best way to perform PS-to-PP mapping?
What determines resolution in PS data?
Are there limits to enhancing the resolution of PS data?
Would such limits be fundamental or just practical?
What are the best methods for enhancing resolution of PS data?
We will describe the steps one must follow to answer these questions, and provide illustrations of the answers.
