  • Method and apparatus for water velocity decomposition
    Patent number: 7321526
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for analyzing traces collected along a plurality of adjacent sail lines in a marine seismic survey area. The method comprises selecting a plurality of trace groups, at least one trace in each group sharing a common midpoint with at least one trace from another group, determining an initial zero-offset travel time for each trace in the trace groups, and generating a plurality of updated zero-offset travel times and a plurality of time corrections for the trace groups using a pre-selected function of the initial zero-offset travel times.
