variegated seismological conditions has been accumulated. The
method has been developed further in two main directions: - the
perfection of the techniques and equipment of three-component field
studies incorporating a continuous control of the identity of
equipment both in deep boreholes and on the surface; - the creation
of efficient and straightforward software for the automatic
processing of PM data. Whereas the early stages of development of
the method have been conspicuous chiefly by the use of polarization
for the discrimination of the wave field, in recent years the
emphasis shifts to the use of polarization parameters to obtain
additional information about the Earth. This is especially
important, as the polarization parameters are very sensitive to
inhomogeneities in cross-section and enable those parameters of the
Earth to be studies which cannot be obtained from kinematics. Here
one should especially mention the polarization of transverse waves,
which can act as one of the most reliable parameters for
identifying and studying anisotropic properties of the Earth. At
present various modifications of PM are being developed applicable
both to uphole - (PM RW = reflected waves method, PM CDP =
common-depth-point method, PM refracted-wave method, PM of regional
studies utilizing earthquakes) and to downhole observations (PM VSP
= vertical seismic profiling). Not all the PM modifications are
developing at the same rate. The method which has up to now been
developed most extenSively is PM VSP.
