Abstract
A marine acoustic source system and method for steering a seismic source array in a body of water during a seismic survey. The method includes measuring an actual position of the seismic source array; calculating a virtual position of the seismic source array, wherein the virtual position corresponds to a position of the seismic source array when towed with no adjustment from a source steering device; retrieving a pre-plot path that includes desired positions of the seismic source array for the seismic survey; and steering the vessel based on the virtual position so that the virtual position lies on the pre-plot path.
