Abstract

Abstract

Three‐component recordings permit the construction of particle trajectories. These three‐dimensional pictures of particle motion show successive predominant directions of polarization and allow wave modes with distinct polarization directions to be recognized. A polarization selection, called ‘spatial directional filtering’, can be accomplished by several methods; four techniques are described. The application of these polarization filters to a noise shot, offset VSPs and CDP stack are also presented. This type of filtering is shown to cancel waves with undue polarization and to enhance the signal‐to‐noise ratio.
