Abstract
DURING this summer and autumn refraction seismic experiments were carried out on the North Sea on a line with azimuth 150° starting from a position 54° 40′ N and 3° 20′ E. The so-called velocity-depth method was adopted in which listening ship and shooting ship are in mirror position with regard to the starting point. In this way the effect of a possible tilt of the layers is eliminated. This has the advantage that no need exists for shooting a reversed profile.
