Research Note: Experimental measurements of Q-contrast reflections.

ABSTRACT While seismic reflection amplitudes are generally determined by real acoustical impedance contrasts, there has been recent interest in reflections due to contrasts in seismic- Q. Herein we compare theoretical and modelled seismic reflection amplitudes for two different cases of material contrasts. In case A, we examine reflections from material interfaces that have a large contrast in real-valued impedance ( [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
