Collection and Analysis of Seismic Wide Angle Reflection and Refraction Data Using Radio Sonobuoys.
Abstract
Information and velocities of compressional waves and thicknesses of layers in the oceanic sediments and basement can be gathered by use of sonobuoys to receive repetitive sound sources (sparkers and airguns) over wide-angle or oblique sound paths. In order to obtain data of sufficient quality to ensure accurate and reproducible results by this method, it is essential that proper techniques be used in the original data acquisition, recording of ancillary data, and playback and analysis of the records. Detailed instructions are provided for field data collection, and for subsequent data playback and analysis, including suggestions for recording formats and scales. (Author)
