    摘要: Methods and systems for computing notional source signatures from modeled notional signatures and measured near-field signatures are described. Modeled near-field signatures are calculated from the modeled notional signatures. Low weights are assigned to parts of a source pressure wavefield spectrum where signatures are less reliable and higher weights are assigned to parts of the source pressure wavefield spectrum where signatures are more reliable. The part of the spectrum where both sets of signatures are reliable can be used for quality control and for comparing the measured near-field signatures to modeled near-field signatures. When there are uncertainties in the input parameters to the modeling, the input parameters can be scaled to minimize the differences between measured and modeled near-field signatures. Resultant near-field signatures are computed by a weighted summation of the modeled and measured near-field signatures, and notional source signatures are calculated from the resultant near-field signatures.

    摘要: The invention comprises a system for attenuating noise in seismic signals detected in a marine seismic streamer. In a particular implementation the system may comprise seismic detectors positioned in the streamer and interconnected to form a plurality of wavenumber filters, with each of the wavenumber filters attenuating signals within a range of wavenumbers. The output signals from the wavenumber filters are operatively connected to a plurality of band-pass filters, and the output signals of the band-pass filters are combined by summation means. The range of wavenumbers attenuated by the wavenumber filters and the passbands of the band-pass filters are selected so that in the output signal of the summation means, signals within a selected frequency range of interest propagating along the cable within a selected velocity range are attenuated and signals within the selected frequency range of interest having a velocity range outside the selected velocity range are preserved.
