NAME

brdc - BSU program which removes DC level or linear trend wrt time in seismic traces

SYNOPSIS

brdc [ -h | infile | iswdc | usrdc ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) removes amplitude bias or linear trend in amplitudes with time. User may input a value of DC bias to remove, or the program will determine the bias in each trace and remove it. A user provided value will be the same value used on every trace. When the program computes a value, it will be unique to each trace. The last option permits a linear trend to be removed by first solving for the slope and intercept of the ampitude trend, and then removing the trend on each trace (again this will vary from trace to trace). This trend removal may be helpful if traces have been integrated with bint.

Options

-h

Online help giving details on command line arguments

infile

Input file name

iswdc

Switch to select type of computation

0=user provided DC level to remove, constant

1=program determines DC level, varies

2=program determines linear trend, varies

NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input parameters.

EXAMPLE:
brdc w001.seg 1

Program determines DC level in each trace and removes it.

FILES

brdcxxxx.seg

Named according to convention (first 4char brdc, the next 4char are the first 4char of the input file name, suffix .seg)

standard output

produces a progress bar

brdcxxxx.lst

Echo check of input parameters and lists statistics for iswdc=1 or 2.
