Abstract

A method is provided for obtaining wide band seismograms made from a plurality of narrow band seismic surveys using vibrator type sources. Several different narrow frequency band seismograms are obtained using vibrator type signal sources. The narrow band seismogram having different frequency band responses are stacked, or added together, to provide a single wide band seismogram having improved signal to noise characteristics.
