To perform noise attenuation for seismic surveying, a sensor assembly is deployed on a ground surface, where the sensor assembly has a seismic sensor to measure seismic waves propagated through a subterranean structure, and a divergence sensor comprising a pressure sensor to measure noise. First data is received from the seismic sensor, and second data is received from the divergence sensor. The first data and the second data are combined to attenuate noise in the first data.

The method of claim 1, wherein the seismic sensor and divergence sensor are physically spaced apart by a predetermined distance. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein combining the first data and the second data comprises subtracting the second data from the first data. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein subtracting the second data from the first data comprises subtracting a product of the second data and a filter operator from the first data. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the material is selected from the group consisting of a liquid, a gel, and a solid. 6.

The method of claim 1, further comprising deploying additional sensor assemblies on the ground surface, where each of the additional sensor assemblies has a seismic sensor to measure seismic waves reflected from the subterranean structure, and a divergence sensor to measure noise. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein deploying the sensor assemblies comprises deploying the sensor assemblies in an environment that includes one or more obstructions that disturbs a regular pattern of the sensor assemblies, wherein provision of the divergence sensors enable noise attenuation even without the regular pattern of the sensor assemblies. 9.
