Seismic array classified until the 1990s. Today they become part of the IMS as primary or auxiliary stations. Seismic arrays are not only used to monitor earthquakes and nuclear tests, but also used as a tool for investigating nature and source regions of microseisms as well as locating and tracking volcanic tremor and analyzing complex seismic wave-field properties in volcanic areas. Seismic arrays can be classified by size, which is defined by the array's aperture given by the largest distance between the single seismometers. The sensors in a seismic array are arranged in different geometry patterns horizontally. The arrays built in the
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
