Near-surface Attenuation

Near-Surface Attenuation is a seismic attenuation phenomenon characterized by the reduction in amplitude and alteration of frequency content of seismic waves as they propagate through the uppermost layers of the Earth's crust, distinguished from deeper attenuation processes by its strong dependence on shallow subsurface heterogeneities, unconsolidated materials, and near-surface geological conditions.
