The presented derivation of the shot continuation operator
resembles Forel's 1988 formulation of his dip moveout (DMO)
operator. This close
link promises a potentially swift improvement of the shot continuation
method applying the experience gained in research concerning offset
continuation and dip moveout. Especially, investigations into
amplitude properties of the offset continuation Deregowski and Rocca (1981) and
dip moveout operator Black et al. (1992); Blondel (1993) should help to
refine the amplitude behavior of the shot continuation operator.
