A signal extraction method is developed based on a prior knowledge on the propagation of seismic signal. To explore underground
velocity structure based on OBS (Ocean Bottom Seismogram), it is necessary to detect reflection and refraction waves from
the data contaminated with relatively large direct wave and its multiples. In this paper, we consider methods based on the
time series and spatial-temporal decompositions of the data. In spatial-temporal decomposition, the difference of the travel
time (moveout) corresponding to underground layer structure is utilized. The proposed methods are exemplified with a real
OBS data.
