The application discloses a method and device for establishing a near-
surface velocity model, and belongs to the technical field of geophysical exploration. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring the positions of a plurality of shot points, the positions of a plurality of geophones, and the actual first
arrival time corresponding to each shot-
geophone pair; obtaining the isotropic near-
surface velocity corresponding to each detection area based on the positions of the shot points, the positions of the geophones, the actual first
arrival time corresponding to each shot-
geophone pair and an initial near-
surface velocity model; determining the predicted first
arrival time corresponding to each shot-
geophone pair based on the isotropic near-surface velocity; and determining the near-surface velocity corresponding to different directions in each detection area based on the isotropic near-surface velocity corresponding to each detection area, the predicted first arrival time corresponding to each shot-geophone pair and the actual first arrival time. The near-surface velocity determined by the method takes the speed difference of seismic
waves propagating in the crust along different directions into account, and can more truly and accurately determine the near-surface velocity of seismic
waves.
