Abstract
Conventional towed streamer seismic acquisition suffers from the ghost recording at the receiver as a direct consequence of towing the streamer beneath the sea surface. Energy reflected from the earth?s subsurface is recorded in the streamer sensors first as an up-going wave-front, then secondly as a down- going reflection from the sea surface. This reflection from the sea surface is referred to as the
