Abstract

We present the theory and numerical results for interferomet-rically interpolating 3D marine surface seismic profiles (SSP) data. For the interpolation of SSP data we use the combination of a natural Green's function (SSP shot gathers) and a modelbased Green's function for the water-layer model. Synthetic results show that the aliased SSP data with sparse receiver intervals can be accurately interpolated to smaller intervals. The virtual shot gather contains some artifacts so a non-stationary 2D multi-channel image matching filter is used after interfer-ometric interpolation to remove these artifacts. Results suggest that a sparse marine SSP survey can yield more information about the reflectors if data are interpolated by interferom-etry. This assumes that the sources are located both outside and above the recording aperture.
