  "term": "Cycle skip",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "An error in phase picking on a seismic or acoustic log where the picked arrival time jumps by one or more full cycles of the waveform. This typically occurs in noisy data or when the signal amplitude changes rapidly, leading to incorrect velocity or depth measurements. It is a common issue in sonic logging and requires careful quality control and correction.",
