Abstract
Computing device and method for determining primary and ghost components from S-waves recorded in near-surface conditions, wherein the S-waves are refracted or reflected from a structure in a subsurface. The method includes a step of receiving seismic data (R, V) with regard to the S-waves, wherein the seismic data includes vertical and radial components recorded with a buried three-component receiver; a step of calculating with a processor a primary component (P) and a ghost component (G) from the vertical and radial components; and a step of computing an image of a subsurface based on the primary and ghost components (P, G). The S-waves form a plane wave.
