Restricted to the existing technology of velocity modeling,the static correction for seismic data is still vital to the processing workflow of the migration from rugged topography.In the paper of “A new static correction method for the migration from rugged topography” a useful attempt was adopted,and a static correction method merely for high frequency statics,corresponding calculation methods for high frequency statics and high frequency datum were proposed.The calculation methods for high frequency statics,high frequency datum and the effect on data of their applied are discussed in this paper.We give a different opinion and illustrate with a simple model.The analysis shows that high frequency datum is some kind of smoothing result of actual landform.After the application of high frequency statics,the medium and low frequency components still have an effect on seismic data,which will be reflected in the velocity model and migration.The suggestions on how to calculate the high frequency statics and high frequency datum are proposed as well.
