This paper derives travel times and arrival angles of head-wave correlations from ocean ambient noise in shallow water over a layered seabed. The upcoming and surface reflected head-wave noise signal received at two receivers from the same interface are correlated, and their travel time differences give the travel times of the head-wave correlations. The arrival angle of head-wave correlations from an interface depends on sound speeds in the layers above and just below. The predictions of head-wave correlations from a seabed with two layers and the corresponding inversion results are verified with simulations.
