A method of filtering seismic signals is described using the steps of
obtaining the seismic signals generated by activating a seismic source
and recording signals emanating from the source at one or more receivers;
defining a source signature deconvolution filter to filter the seismic
signal, wherein the filter is scaled by a frequency-dependent term based
on an estimate of the signal-to-noise (S/N) based on the spectral power
of a signal common to a suite of angle-dependent far-field signatures
normalized by the total spectral power of the signatures within the
angular suite and performing a source signature deconvolution using the
source signature deconvolution filter.
