Summary
We assess the feasibility of using Sub-Basaltic arrivals due to local Conversions (SBCs) to image structure beneath high-velocity basalt with both synthetic and real data. Detailed numerical modelling shows that in areas with water depths up to 1400m, for a 200m-thick basalt buried about 1km below t...
