A more narrow definition used by seismic interpreters is that a synthetic seismogram, commonly called a synthetic, is a direct one-dimensional model of acoustic energy traveling through the layers of the Earth. The synthetic seismogram is generated by convolving the reflectivity derived from digitized acoustic and density logs with the wavelet derived from seismic data. 4, record 1, English, - synthetic%20seismogram

SynPAK is an easy to use, full-featured package that helps streamline the process of creating and manipulating synthetic seismograms. Synthetics allow the geoscientist to identify events from log data, and then relate these events to reflections in seismic data. 5, record 1, English, - synthetic%20seismogram
