1. The method of developing a specific seismic data parameter from seismic trace data, comprising:
- receiving processed seismic trace data for a selected plane of investigation;
rectifying said seismic trace data;
producing the Hilbert transform of said rectified trace data;
determining the instantaneous phase using Hilbert transformed rectified data; and
interpreting geological significance of the plane of investigation using instantaneous phase of the rectified and transformed data.

Abstract
A method for developing a novel seismic data attribute enables improvements in seismic data processing and interpretation. Seismic signals or trace data are first rectified and then Hilbert transformed and processed with the arc tangent function to develop a new instantaneous phase parameter referred to as phase of rectified trace (PORT). Output data may be further enhanced with tri-modal, interactive color display.
