A bstract A singular‐value decomposition technique is presented for quantifying the information content of band‐limited and offset‐limited seismic reflection data for the case of plane‐layered subsurface models. With the aid of this method, vertical resolution, tuning effects and ambiguities between different types of lithological parameters can be analysed simultaneously. The method is applied in a model study for quantifying the effects of offset‐limitation and the presence of different wavetypes on the ability to discriminate different types of parameters.
