Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to marine geophysical surveys. Various output characteristics of a vibratory source may be modified based on whether a source is targeting an identified portion of a survey area. The portion of the survey area may be detected during the survey or may be pre-identified. In some embodiments, a survey system drives a vibratory source using digital codes having different lengths based on whether the source is targeting an identified portion of a survey area. The disclosed techniques may improve imaging of geology under certain types of formations or may reduce environmental impact, in various embodiments.
