Since that time, there have been many improvements in streamer technology. However, one aspect of that technology has remained fixed during the intervening 60 years; the type of seismic detector has remained the hydrophone. As a consequence, every recorded and finally processed reflection wavelet from marine streamers has been accompanied by a ghost reflection from the ocean's surface. And the resulting filter effect on the recorded data has restricted streamer towing depths to a range of about six to nine meters. In this paper, we report on the successful addition of particle velocity sensors to a new dual‐sensor towed marine streamer, and the geophysical improvements and advantages that result.Permalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/1.2792571FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByA convolutional neural network approach for ghost removalKhalid Almuteri and Paul Sava1 September 2021Source deghosting of coarsely sampled common-receiver data using a convolutional neural networkJan-Willem Vrolijk and Gerrit Blacquière11 March 2021 | GEOPHYSICS, Vol. 86, No. 3Noise types and their attenuation in towed marine seismic: A tutorialVolodya Hlebnikov, Thomas Elboth, Vetle Vinje, and Leiv-J.
