  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-003753",
  "term": "Tail mute",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A mute that zeroes the late part of the traces, especially on far offsets, where the signal has fallen below the noise or late-arriving noise dominates. It is defined by a curve of time against offset, and everything later than the curve is removed. It complements the front-end mute, which removes the early part of the traces containing the direct arrival, refractions and NMO stretch.",
