Seismic source series for use in maritime seismic detection.

摘要

Controlled phase marine seismic subarray for use in a marine seismic array and methods for constructing such subarray are provided. A controlled phase marine seismic subarrays of the present invention are arranged to operate at a preselected depth and to provide generally downgoing (for angles of emergence from the array that are of interest) far-field pulses having phase spectra that match the phase spectrum of the vertically downgoing far-field pulse up to a ghost-notch frequency. The methods select the depth of operation and type of sources for the subarray, select a maximum number of identical elements and spacing based upon the highest incidence angle and frequency for which phase control is desired, and construct a plurality of parallel, linear, subarrays.
