  "term": "Full-azimuth towed-streamer acquisition",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A marine acquisition method in which a vessel towing streamers sails a series of overlapping circular or spiral paths, so that each subsurface point is recorded with source-to-receiver azimuths covering the full 360 degrees. Compared with straight-line sailing it improves illumination beneath complex overburden such as salt. Coil shooting is the usual name for this approach.",
