A process for the exploration of an area and its application to the seismic bottom research

摘要

A method of exploring a medium, in which a sequence of waves is produced in the medium in the form of long continuous oscillatory signals emitted by a number of sources, the reflected waves are received by at least one receiver, and the times taken by the waves to travel are determined by crosscorrelating the signals received and recorded with the references for the signals emitted.
