SWME is a modeling based approach that is typically used in shallow water environments where conventional SRME methodology starts to break down due to sparse / missing near offset information.
3D ray tracing is used to derive a Green’s function of the water bottom, reconstructing missing offset information. The Green’s function is then convolved with the recorded seismic data to generate source and receiver side multiple models that are fed into an adaptive subtraction algorithm.
A variety of advanced adaptive subtraction algorithms are available, including least squares multidomain and curvelet subtraction, to subtract the predicted multiple model from the input dataset.
