Abstract:

Using offshore airguns and onshore explosions as seismic sources, along with portable seismic stations, permanent seismic stations and Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) as a synchronously receiving array, a onshore-offshore 3D seismic exploration experiment was carried out for the first time in the Zhujiangkou area of the northern South China Sea. This paper introduces in detail the seismic data acquisition, observation system, data preprocessing method, and phase identification. A variety of seismic phases, including Pg, PcP, PmP, Pn, and Sg, can be clearly identified in most data collected by the permanent, portable seismic stations and OBS. Jointly using airgun and explosion sources, and dense stations receiving seismic signals simultaneously both on land and at sea, it can highly improve the ray coverage and cross overlap beneath the onshore-offshore transitional belt, which lays a foundation for obtaining fine crustal structure beneath such onshore-offshore area.

Key words: onshore-offshore seismic exploration, 3D, airgun, explosion, ocean bottom seismometer, northern South China Sea
