Abstract
In an earlier paper, we introduced a 3-D inverse scattering method for removing scattered surface waves from seismic data that was based on a tomographic imaging of the scattered surface waves by a data‐fitting procedure that used as much of the seismic data as possible. After this imaging step, the scattered surface waves can be computed and removed for each separate source‐receiver pair. We now apply the method to two field‐data sets. The method requires a knowledge of the source waveform and shallow propagation characteristics, and these input requirements are estimated from the direct surface wave. We conclude that the method effectively attenuates crossline scattered surface waves without affecting deeper reflections.
