Qademah Fault

Passive Data

28 Sept. 2014 - 3 Oct. 2014

 

OBJECTIVE:

In this field trip we collect passive data to

1.      Convert passive to surface waves

2.      Locate Qademah fault using surface wave migration

INTRODUCTION:

In this field trip we collected passive data for several days (see table 1). This data will be used to find the surface waves using interferometry and then compared to active-source seismic data collected at the same location (Figure 1).


A total of 288 receivers are used. A 3D layout with 5 m inline intervals and 10 m cross line intervals is used (Figure 2), where we used 12 lines with 24 receivers at each line. Receiver order is shown in Figure 2.

 

You will need to download the file (rec_times.mat), it contains important information about

1.      Field record no

2.      Record day

3.      Record month

4.      Record hour

5.      Record minute

6.      Record second

7.      Record length

P.S. 1. All files are converted from original format (SEG-2) to matlab format

P.S. 2. Overlaps between records (10 to 1.5 sec.) are already removed from these files
