ABSTRACT Reflection quality in the Netherlands is extremely variable, ranging from very good to very poor. It is believed that the variation is caused mainly by the changing surface conditions. This suggestion is discussed in the light of available geological data. Several examples are given showing the usefulness of making broad band recordings on normal reflection spreads. The combination of data obtained from the study of the surface conditions and from broad band seismograms is used to select the best shooting method. Some suggestions are made regarding seismometer and shot‐hole patterns, shot medium and the choice of filters.
