Seismic surveys can leave the near-surface undersampled. This is particularly a challenge offshore Abu Dhabi, where a complex near-surface contaminates the seismic image. To mitigate these effects, the authors use near-field hydrophone (NFH) data. NFHs are positioned approximately a meter above each airgun and are designed to record near-field pressure.
