Abstract

A technique includes receiving first data indicative of a pressure measurement and measurements of components of a particle motion vector acquired by sensors disposed on at least one cable; and processing the first data to generate second data indicative of a constructed an in-line component of the particle motion vector. The technique includes processing the first and second data in a geophysical processing operation that relies on at least three components of the particle motion vector.
