Abstract

In shallow marine environments, hydrophone data often suffers from the presence of undesirable artifacts such as ghosts and reverberation. Instead of employing labor-intensive noise removal techniques, the application of Up-Down Deconvolution (UDD) in conjunction with the Ocean Bottom Cable (OBC) dual sensor acquisition technique offers a straightforward mathematical solution to effectively combine and attenuate these noise sources. However, a notable challenge in OBC surveys lies in the excessive ambient noise present in the geophone (Z) component.
