  "term": "Root-mean-square velocity",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A specific average velocity calculated from interval velocities, used in seismic data processing for normal moveout (NMO) correction. It represents the square root of the average of the squares of the interval velocities, weighted by their respective two-way travel times. RMS velocity is typically derived from velocity analysis of common midpoint gathers.",
