Each receiver station commonly is not a single instrument, but rather a array of several receivers, connected electronically and a centered around a point. ARRAY or GROUP: Receiver stations of connected geophones. Geophone responses for a group add together as a single seismic trace. Response of one geophone group. If the group length is equal to the wavelength of a Rayleigh wave, positive signals from geophones moving up cancel negative signals from those moving down, the Rayleigh wave is thus attenuated. A reflected P-wave at close distance to the source moves the group of geophones up or down in unison, enhancing the arrival. The geometry of an array ( or a geophone group) is designed to cancel certain unwanted signals, while enhancing reflected waves. GROUNDROLL: Rayleigh waves which are example of unwanted noise.
CMP method provides redundancy of information that enhances signal-to-noise ratio and facilitates the determination of seismic velocities used in processing and interpretation. EXAMPLE: During the first shot, the midpoint between the source (S1) and first receiver (R1) is the same point as S2/S3 and S3/S5, for shots 2 and 3 respectively.
SHOT GATHER: Each record of six seismic traces is known as a shot gather. CMP Gather: A display of traces corresponding to reflections around a each source, is known as CMP or CDP. NMO: The differences in travel time are called normal moveout. PRIMARY REFLECTION= Resulted from energy that undergoes only one reflection before returning to the surface.
