Elastic wave propagation simulations generating shot gathers and corresponding time-lapse data, comparing different source depths for deep CO₂ monitoring. Top: survey geometry over the Marmousi model with marine, surface, and borehole sources, targeting a CO₂ plume beneath a high-attenuation (scattering) surface layer. Bottom: shot gathers (left) and time-lapse wavefields (right) for each source, illustrating signal propagation and CO2 detectability, respectively.
