| Summary | Approximately 3,500 km of 24-channel seismic-reflection profiles in the Solomon Islands region of the South Pacific. The seismic energy source consisted of a tuned array of five airguns with a total volume of 1,313 cu. in. of air compressed to approximately 1,900 psi. The recording system consisted of a 24-channel, 2400-m long streamer with a group interval of 100 m, and a GUS (Global Universal Science) model 4200 digital recording instrument. Shots were fired every 50 m with 100-m group intervals. Navigational control for the survey was provided by a Magnavox-integrated navigation system using transit satellites and Doppler sonar. A 2-msec sampling rate was used in the field and the data were later desampled to 4 msec during the demultiplexing process. A 10-sec data length was recorded, which, combined with a deep-water delay, yielded up to 16 sec of two-way travel time. The sequence of processing of data was editing-demultiplexing, velocity analysis, CDP stacking, deconvolution-filtering, and plotting on an electrostatic plotter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
