<p>A marine acoustic source system and method for steering a seismic source array in a body of water during a seismic survey. The method includes measuring an actual position (430) of the seismic source array (406a); calculating a virtual position (434) of the seismic source array (406a), wherein the virtual position (434) corresponds to a position of the seismic source array when towed with no adjustment from a source steering device (408a); retrieving a pre-plot path (450) that includes desired positions of the seismic source array (406a) for the seismic survey; and steering the vessel based on the virtual position (434) so that the virtual position (434) lies on the pre-plot path (450).</p> |
