Model-Based Identification of the Base of the Gas Hydrate Stability Zone in Multichannel Reflection Seismic Data, Offshore Costa Rica

Figure 5

The magnitudes of the reflection coefficients for the seafloor reflection and the BSR are calculated for a model with ∼3% free gas below the gas hydrate stability zone [44]. Density and seismic velocities are taken from the full-waveform inversion of Pecher et al. [9]. The black boxes mark the incident angle ranges which are shown in Figure 6.
