1. A method comprising:
- receiving a pressure measurement and a particle motion measurement obtained from at least one towed seismic sensor, the pressure measurement containing a signal and noise;
estimating the signal in the pressure measurement;
based at least on the estimated signal in the pressure measurement, estimating a noise in the pressure measurement;
predicting a noise in the particle motion measurement based on at least the estimated noise in the pressure measurement; and
processing the particle motion measurement to remove noise based at least on the predicted noise.

Abstract
A technique includes receiving a pressure measurement and a particle motion measurement from at least towed seismic sensor. The pressure measurement contains signal and noise. The technique includes estimating the signal in the pressure measurement and based at least on the estimated signal in the pressure measurement, estimating a noise in the pressure measurement. Noise in the particle motion measurement is predicted based on at least the estimated noise in the pressure measurement, and the particle motion measurement is processed to remove noise based on at least the predicted noise.
