Comparisons between mean stack and phase-weighted stack of common virtual-shot gathers. Left: Time-offset displays and close-up view of a single trace (shaded areas denote causal portions of the virtual-shot gathers); right: corresponding dispersion spectra in velocity-frequency domain. (a) Pre-stack gather from 1-minute noise-correlation. (b) 1-hour stack via mean stacking. (c) 1-hour stack via phase-weighted stacking. Dotted lines in time-offset displays the location of the trace shown in the close-up view.
