Title Turning subsurface noise sources into virtual receivers by multi-dimensional deconvolution Authors

The retrieval of the Green's functions between receiver pairs by multi-dimensional deconvolution can be extended to extract the impulse response between source pairs through source-receiver reciprocity. However in general, the procedure requires the separation of the outgoing and incoming wavefields at the sources, which reduces to the separation of the direct waves and the reflected waves in the absence of free-surface and inter-layer multiples. We show that in theory, for non-transient noise sources where the separation may not be obvious in the data domain, the separation can be achieved by time-windowing in an intermediate crosscorrelation step, which can be readily included in the MDD scheme. We illustrate the method with a synthetic model
