ABSTRACT:
A seismic wave generator and method of using it, which comprises a vertical array of sources at known spacings, for detonation in a seismic wave propagating medium of known seismic velocity; means to initiate the sources in time sequence in a selected series of known different time intervals and recording the seismic waves at a distant location to provide a first electrical signal; and correlating the first electrical signal with a second electrical signal derived from the pattern of initiation, as modified by the travel times of the waves between the several separate charges.
