Converted waves in a shallow marine environment: Experimental and modeling studies

Seismic waves converted from compressional to shear mode in the shallow subsurface can be useful not only for obtaining shear-wave velocity information but also for improved processing of deeper reflection data. These waves generated at deep seas have been used successfully in hydrocarbon exploration; however, acquisition of good-quality...

The spatial data-adaptive minimum-variance distortionless-response beamformer on seismic single-sensor data

Coherent noise generated by surface waves or ground roll within a heterogeneous near surface is a major problem in land seismic data. Array forming based on single-sensor recordings might reduce such noise more robustly than conventional hardwired arrays. We use the minimum-variance distortionless-response (MVDR) beamformer to remove (aliased)...
