Abstract:
This paper presents a modal-based geoacoustic inversion method adapted for a very-low-frequency leaky waveguide. It is applied to air gun data collected by a seismic streamer during the multi-channel seismic exploration experiment in the South Yellow Sea. The inversion is carried out by filtering the waterborne and bottom-trapped mode pairs from the received signal and comparing the modal interference features (waveguide invariant) to replica fields. The effective seabed models are inferred at two positions, and the two-way-travel time of basement interface reflected waves calculated using these models exhibit good agreement with geological exploration results.

Spectral interference occurs when signals from other elements or molecules overlap with the analyte signal, falsely elevating or masking the analyte's absorbance. This interference can be corrected using Zeeman,...
Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
