MULTIPLE-SOURCE WERNER DECONVOLUTION

A reformulation of the Werner deconvolution algorithm using the analyt ic signal is extended to multiple source bodies. The extended algorith m involves solving a linear least-squares problem; the coefficients so obtained determine a complex polynomial whose roots define the locati ons and depths of the body contacts. The extended algorithm has been u sed to map the structure of the Cobb offset zone of the Juan de Fuca R idge from aeromagnetic data; both the top and bottom of the spreading center basalts can be delineated. Connections between the multiple-sou rce Werner technique and CompuDepthTM are discussed.
