Abstract

In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for processing a scattered acoustic wavefield is provided. The scattered acoustic wavefield is received by at least two receivers. These receivers are offset and located at approximately the same depth. The method comprises transforming the scattered acoustic wavefield to the frequency domain. The method also comprises transforming the scattered acoustic wavefield from the frequency domain to the spectral domain. The method also comprises deghosting the scattered acoustic wavefield in the spectral domain. The method further comprises transforming the substantially deghosted transformed acoustic wavefield to the space-time domain.
