A z transform filter theory method for the normalization of the instrument responses of several seismographs is presented. In this method, an inverse filter is derived by consideration of the seismometer/recorder characteristics which may be applied to a given seismogram to convert the system frequency response to that of a reference system. Inverse filters are derived for the seismographs used on the 1978 Yellowstone-Snake River Plain seismic profiling experiment. It is shown by application to these data that the inverse filters are effective in amplitude normalization and that their use allows improvement in the amplitude and waveform character of seismic record sections.
