Abstract

The analysis of scattering diagrams of the correlation-type representation theorem in inhomogeneous media is improved by the use of virtual events. Virtual events here are events which are not directly recorded in standard seismic data acquisition, but the assumption of their existence permits the construction, of internal multiples with scattering points at the sea surface.
