Units

Every unit that appears in the field reference, what it means, and the fields that use it.

%

Per cent: a share of the whole, where 100 is all of it.

  • Clip — Reflectivity
  • Clip — Seismic
  • Clip — Wave Modelling
  • Clip — Convolution

°C/km

Degrees Celsius per kilometre, the rate at which temperature rises with depth.

deg

Degrees of angle, a full turn being 360.

degrees

Degrees of angle, a full turn being 360.

g/cm^3

Grams per cubic centimetre, the unit of density of a mineral, fluid or rock.

g/cm³

Grams per cubic centimetre, the unit of density of a mineral, fluid or rock.

GPa

Gigapascals, the pressure unit for elastic moduli such as bulk and shear modulus.

Hz

Hertz, cycles per second: the frequency content of a wavelet or a seismic trace.

km/s

Kilometres per second, the unit of seismic P-wave and S-wave velocity.

  • Vp — Manage Layers
  • Vs — Manage Layers

m

Metres, the unit of depth, distance and grid spacing.

m^2

Square metres, the SI unit of permeability; the darcy is the field unit for the same quantity.

ms

Pa.s

Pascal-seconds, the unit of dynamic viscosity of a pore fluid.

s

Seconds, the unit of time along a trace and of the simulation time step.
