Seismic Interferometry Applied to Passive Data

One of the applications of Seismic Interferometry (SI) is the reconstruction of the Earth’s reflection response from the crosscorrelation of seismic background noise recorded at the surface. In recent years, several authors have derived the relations that govern this process. The quality of the reconstruction has been extensively examined with numerical modeling results.<br><br>We applied SI to background-noise field data recorded in a desert area. The reconstructed results show several coherent events which align well with reflections from an active survey along the same line.
