Many of the techniques already in use for enhancing the first arrivals in earthquake and exploration data can be used for enhancing first arrivals in passive microseismic records. A method most commonly used in earthquake seismology is the short‐term average to long‐term average ratio (STA/LTA), in which the ratio of energies in two time windows is used to enhance the first arrivals of the records (Baer and Kradolfer, 1987). Kurz et al. (2005) provides a thorough review of... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
