Abstract

A source array generates seismic waves in water during a marine seismic survey. The source array includes a first sub-array including plural source elements; plural acoustic transceivers distributed along the first sub-array; a positioning system; a primary position control device configured to control a position of the first sub-array; and a secondary position control system configured to adjust a depth of the first sub-array. The source array may include plural sub-arrays long which plural acoustiv transceivers are distributed. The acoustic transceivers are configured to communicate among themselves to measure relative distances between the source elements.
