Abstract
A multi-source for generating seismic waves includes plural source arrays, each source array being configured to generate seismic waves in water, and each source array being configured to be attached to a same towing vessel and plural umbilicals, each connecting a corresponding source array to the towing vessel. Each umbilical has a different length from the other umbilicals of the plural umbilicals when the plural source arrays are deployed in water so that an inline offset increment DX between any two adjacent source arrays, along an inline direction, is non-zero.
