ABSTRACT:
A method for optimizing the acoustic signal-to-noise ratio during a useful maximal-length recording cycle within the time frame of a minimal-length recording episode. To implement the method, during an intermittent-tow seismic operation, the noise level due to cable manipulation during an entire recording episode is monitored. A quiet-window of a desired length is established by adjusting the length of the interval during which the seismic cable is at rest. The initiation of a recording cycle is adjusted relative to the quiet window to take maximum advantage of the quiet period.
