The contribution of each term is labeled according to the numbering of equation 15. We sum over the auxiliary stations, according to equation 18, to obtain the retrieved signal in Figure 8(b). We compare this signal to the true result, convolved with the square of the autocorrelation of the wavelet , and the result retrieved by correlating stations and directly ( ) weighted by . It is clear that the dominant contribution in , without muting and , does not correspond to the direct event between the stations and . If we assume we can perfectly mute only the dominant term 4.1 from and , this would leave the terms of group 2.
A correlogram of their contributions to is shown in Figure 9(a), summing this panel and multiplying with a phase-modifying according to equation 18, leads to the signal in Figure 9(b). We now see that there is a dominant term coinciding with the causal direct event between stations and in the true result; this event comes from term 15.11.

Black lines indicates traveltime of a wave from station to each auxiliary station. b) Correlogram for correlations between station and all auxiliary stations as a function of auxiliary station-position angle. Black line indicates traveltime of a wave from station or to each auxiliary station. |
