A method for seismic processing includes receiving seismic data representing a subsurface volume. The seismic data includes a first horizontal component and a second horizontal component. The first and second horizontal components are rotated such that the first horizontal component is substantially aligned with a source of a seismic wavefield and the second horizontal component is substantially transverse to the source of the seismic wavefield. A splitting intensity is determined at a boundary of the subsurface volume using the first and second horizontal components after the first and second horizontal components are rotated. An anisotropic parameter is determined for a portion of the subsurface volume as a function of time using the splitting intensity.
