Abstract

See full text

A method for calculating intermodulation noise generated with one or more land seismic sources. The method includes receiving seismic data (g) generated by actuating the one or more land seismic source with a single sweep; selecting a number of detectors (a-f) that detect a subset (ga-gf) of the seismic data (g); estimating earth responses (ha1-hf1) based on (i) the subset seismic data (ga-gf) and (ii) a ground force (gf) of the one or more land seismic source; calculating plural intermodulation noises (noiseA1-noiseF1) for the number of detectors based on the earth responses (ha1-hf1); and removing the plural intermodulation noises (noiseA1-noiseF1) from corresponding detector signals (ga-gf) to mitigate the intermodulation noise effect.
