The plus minus method is a geophysical principle attributed to Hagedoorn for statics solution derivation in which two emergence points on a refractor and a common midpoint (cmp) on the surface are considered.
Examples: t+ = tABCD + tDEFG - tABFG t- = tABCD - tDEFG + tABFG see the figure in the Seismic Data Processing text by Ozdogan Yilmaz on pg 227
