Figure 2: Zoom displays of stacks. LIFT was used to attenuate multiples; diffraction energy - desirable for subsequent pre-stack migration - is clearly preserved through the
LIFT process.

We have also found this technique works well in the challenging Mackenzie Delta area, where the seismic data collected
can be affected by permafrost, sea ice, and the deposits of the
Mackenzie River itself. Groundroll noise travels fast through
the frozen near-surface, and data recorded here often has a very
poor signal-to-noise ratio generally. The noise is typically in the
same bandwidth as the signal, making it difficult to deal with.
Historical approaches like spatial filters perform reasonably but
the results suffer from some spatial smearing, and amplitudes
of signal are not necessarily preserved. Again, the challenge is
to reduce the noise without smearing, distorting, (or creating)
signal. The results from the LIFT approach have been
welcomed by the client. The approach can be iterative and
parameters can be fine-tuned for particular datasets.
