Abstract
Method, apparatus and system for calibrating and synchronizing a seismic acoustic source array (50) by taking into account both a time-break signal (500) and a near-field signal (504). A time delay between the time-break signal and the near-field signal is used to calculate an offset for adjusting the shooting of the source elements of the source array.
