FIG. 1.23 Synthetic shot gathers illustrating how the NMO time or curvature of a theoretical reflection hyperbola changes
with (A) increasing reflector depth for a constant velocity and (B) increasing velocity for a constant reflector depth.
(C) Combined effects of reflector depth and velocity on the NMO time for four different reflector depths with increasing
velocities.
