SBP Data Processing - Muting

The muting process is the processing step for cutting the data or unwanted noise are present in the SBP data.

SBP Data Processing - Swell Filter

When the up and down movement of ocean waves at the time of Sub-Bottom Profiling (SBP) data collection  is large enough, it causes the line reflectors tend not to be in the correct position. By doing Swell filter on the SBP data processing stage then this effect will be minimized.

One way to do swell filter to the SBP data  is to use Static Correction. The above data was taken using the tool Syqwest Stratabox 10KHz.

Sub Bottom Profiling (SBP)

Sub-Bottom Profiling (SBP) is a subsurface sensing technique by using a special tool that utilizes acoustic waves with single channel to display the shallow seabed seismic profile (JD Penrose et al, 2005). SBP method is one application of seismic reflection method for identifying the sediment layers beneath the surface of the seabed.

Sound source (transmitter) emits a signal propagates downward through the water column and then the receiver will receive the signal back after reflected by the surface of the seabed and the boundary layer below the surface of the seabed.
