Introduction

SeisImager/2D is seismic refraction analysis software that consists of two programs: PickWin95 for picking first arrivals, and PlotRefa for analysis. PlotRefa can perform time-term analysis for two-layer models, reciprocal (Hagiwara's) method for models with more than three layers, and tomographic analysis for automatic velocity modeling. The document provides instructions on installing the software and using sample seismic data to learn how to pick first arrivals in PickWin95 and analyze refraction data in PlotRefa.

Seismic Refraction Analysis with SeisImager/2D


PickWin95 (Picking first arrival) PlotRefa(Seismic refraction analysis)
<<Introduction>>
SeisImager/2D is the two-dimensional seismic refraction analysis software. It consits of two-software, named PickWin95 and PlotRefa. PickWin95 is a software for picking first arrival. Plotrefa is a software for seismic refraction analysis. Following analysis approach can be used in the PlotRefa. 1:Time-term method If the velocity model is a simple horizontal two-layer model, you can use the time-term method. The timeterm method is a simple linear least square method for two-layer velocity model 2:Reciprocal method (Hagiwaras method) If the number of layers is larger than three, you can use reciprocal method. Sometimes, it is called GRM, or Hagiwaras method. 3:Tomographic analysis The tomographic analysis can image velocity model almost automatically. It can handle surface data as well as the data obtained from sources and receivers in boreholes or tunnels.
