Table T1. Data processing sequence.
Stage | Details |
---|---|
Preprocessing | Localizing hydrophone streamer with AEL; assigning geometry to traces |
Bandpass filter | Frequency range of 80–250 Hz for fine structure or 30–140 Hz mainly for BSR |
Deconvolution | 200 ms filter length |
10 ms gap length | |
10% white noise | |
Bandpass filter | As above |
Spatial linear signal detector | Velocity filtering in Tau-p domain |
Rho filter | Restoring frequency spectrum |
Velocity analysis | Loop as required |
NMO | |
Residual static correction | |
Stacking | |
Despiking | |
Optional AGC | 100 ms window length |
Migration | Stolt migration for best sediment structure or FD migration for amplitude preservation |
Optional AGC | 100 ms window length |
Notes: Canadian Oceanographical Acoustic Measurement System data from Cruise PGC9902. Alternative bandpass filters were applied dependent on target reflectors. For amplitude preservation, finite-difference (FD) migration was preferred over Stolt migration and automatic gain control (AGC) was not applied. AEL = array element localization, BSR = bottom-simulating reflector, NMO = normal moveout.
