Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Commercial offshore seismic surveys involve the use of powerful acoustic sources consisting of arrays of airguns. These sources produce frequent, loud, impulsive sounds at precisely timed intervals, at accurately known positions during surveys that may last for several months. By deploying a low-cost acoustic receiving system in the vicinity of such a survey scientists can acquire high quality data for geoacoustic inversion experiments in an extremely cost-effective manner. This paper discusses the various factors that must be considered when using such data for geoacoustic inversion, including the prediction of source spectra and array directionality, and provides some examples.
