Abstract
Method and system for acquiring seismic data. The marine seismic acquisition system includes a first vessel that follows an inline direction (X); a first source array (S1) configured to generate first seismic waves; and a second source array (S2) configured to generate second seismic waves. The first and second source arrays are towed by the first vessel along the inline direction (X) and a first inline distance (d) between (i) a first center of source (CS1) of the first source array (S1) and (ii) a second center of source (CS2) of the second source array (S2) is different from zero.
