Documentation - How to Archive your Active Source Data as a PH5 Data Set
Refer to the documentation below to learn how to prepare the data you've collected for archiving. PASSCAL supports PH5 as the archival data format format of active-source data sets with detailed documentation, to guide you through the processing, and software to load and manipulate your data (including the construction of SEG-Y gathers).
Active source data archiving documentation exists in two forms: a detailed document and associated appendices and a short, concise document for those individuals which my already have a familiarity with PH5 processing or have attended a data processing workshop.
A number of experiments have data sets archived at the IRIS DMC in PH5 format. Refer to our Requesting SEG-Y Format Data from PH5 Data Sets at the IRIS DMC page for more details regarding the retrieval of these data, including a references to the SEG-Y format and PASSCAL SEG-Y trace file format and FAQ regarding data requests from PH5 data sets.
