Abstract
A method for using S-waves recorded at sea floor to determine anellipticity relating to at least one rock substrate is provided. In particular the method comprises identifying an S-wave event in recorded pre-stack seismic data and then determining at least one anisotropy parameter by adjusting moveout of a corresponding modeled S-wave event to agree with moveout of the identified S-wave event. The method is particularly applicable to mode converted S-waves in seismic signals.
