Seismic array of 25 individual seismic stations arranged in 4 concentric rings with radius of 200m, 430m, 925m and 1988m. SPITS is a very small aperture array at Spitsbergen, Norway. It was originally installed in 1992 and upgraded to IMS standard in 2007 by NORSAR. Seismic array A seismic array is a system of linked seismometers arranged in a regular geometric pattern (cross, circle, rectangular etc.) to increase sensitivity to earthquake and explosion detection. A seismic array differs from a local network of seismic stations mainly by the techniques used for data analysis. The data from a seismic array is obtained using
Multidimensional seismic data processing seismic profile. This involves gathering seismic traces from points at the same depth and summing them. This is referred to as "Common depth-point stacking" or "Common midpoint stacking". Simply speaking, when these traces are merged, the background noise cancels itself out and the seismic signal add up, thus improving the SNR. Assuming a seismic wave formula_27 travelling upwards towards the surface, where formula_28 is the position on the surface and formula_29 is the depth. The wave's propagation is described by: formula_30 Migration refers to this wave's backward propagation. The two-dimensional Fourier transform of the wave at depth formula_31 is given
