Abstract
A method for processing seismic data. The method includes receiving the seismic data acquired at one or more receivers due to one or more marine vibroseis sources that emit one or more vibroseis sweeps. The method then applies a receiver motion correction algorithm to the received seismic data to generate receiver motion corrected seismic data. After generating the receiver motion corrected seismic data, the method transforms the receiver motion corrected seismic data into a temporal Fourier domain to generate seismic data as a function of frequency. The method then reconstructs the transformed seismic data as a function of frequency to correct for one or more motions of the one or more marine vibroseis sources. After reconstructing the transformed seismic data, the method transforms the reconstructed seismic data to the time domain. The method then generates a seismic image of a subsurface of the Earth based on the transformed reconstructed seismic data.
