1. n. [Geophysics]

Steps in seismic processing to compensate for attenuation, spherical divergence and other effects by adjusting the amplitude of the data. The goal is to get the data to a state where the reflection amplitudes relate directly to the change in rock properties giving rise to them.

Alternate Form: true-amplitude recovery
