What is another word for normal moveout error?

Pronunciation: [nˈɔːmə͡l mˈuːvɪˌa͡ʊt ˈɛɹə] (IPA)

Normal moveout error is a common phenomenon in the seismic exploration process. It refers to the difference between the predicted arrival time of seismic waves and the actual time of arrival due to variations in the subsurface velocity. This discrepancy can interfere with proper interpretation of the data, and therefore, it is important to understand and account for normal moveout errors. Some synonyms for normal moveout errors include velocity errors, waveform distortions, time delays, travel time discrepancies, seismic anomalies, and phase aberrations. Accurately identifying and correcting for normal moveout errors can significantly improve the quality and reliability of seismic exploration data.
