f Signature measurements concerning the exploitation of interaction in the design of compact airgun arrays

In a paper presented at the 37th EAEG Annual Meeting held in Bergen, June 1975, Safar proposed a method (UK Patent No. 1542261) for efficient design of compact airgun array. The proposed method (Safar, 1976) involves the damping of the bubble pressure pulses by exploiting the interaction between a number of properly spaeed identical airguns.
