Abstract

Physical parameters are measured for an array of seismic sources, preferably for each activation of the seismic sources. Calibration functions are obtained and the measured physical parameters and calibration functions are applied to a model, which generates a calibrated source signature for the array of seismic sources. Alternatively, the measured physical parameters are applied to a model, which generates a modeled source signature, and then the calibration functions are applied to the modeled source signature to generate the calibrated source signature. Alternatively, modeled source signatures are generated for each seismic source and then the calibration functions are applied to the modeled source signatures to generate a calibrated source signature for each seismic source. Then the calibrated source signatures for each seismic source are combined, preferably by linear superposition, to generate the calibrated source signature for the array of seismic sources.
