| contents | In marine seismic reflection surveys, most data comprise only the pressure acquired by a hydrophone array. The acquired data are subject to frequency bandwidth limitations caused by the contamination of surface-reflected ghost signals associated with seismic signals generated by artificial sources such as airguns. This study developed a method to exploit the mirror-image effect to control these signals and image the subsurface structure using signals generated by virtual seismic sources at locations mirroring actual sources. The processing results indicate that decomposed ghost signals can be regarded as additional survey data to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and widen bandwidth. |
