    Abstract: An apparatus. At least some illustrative embodiments are an apparatus comprising a sensor streamer. The sensor streamer includes at least one seismic streamer section and a first electrode adapter removably attached to the at least one seismic streamer section. The first electrode adapter includes a first electrode, wherein the first electrode is configured to couple to electrical circuitry configured to measure a potential difference between the first electrode at a first potential and a second potential. The conducting member forms a reference potential, wherein the conducting member is floating. The at least one seismic streamer section is without electromagnetic field-sensing components.

    Abstract: Geophysical sensor cable. At least some of the example embodiments are methods including creating a geophysical sensor cable by: creating a first window through the insulation of a first electrical conductor; creating a second window through the insulation of a second electrical conductor; placing the first and second electrical conductors in a clip; twisting the first and second electrical conductors to create a twisted pair; electrically coupling a first lead of a seismic sensor to the first electrical conductor through a first window; electrically coupling a second lead of the seismic sensor to the second electrical conductor through a second window; encapsulating at least a portion of an internal volume of the clip; and placing the twisted pair and the seismic sensor within an outer jacket of a geophysical sensor cable.

    Abstract: Acoustic source arrays and related methods. At least some of the example embodiments are methods including towing a first source sub-array comprising a first surface float, the first surface float defines a first connection point at a proximal end of the first surface float. The method may further include towing a second source sub-array comprising a second surface float, the second surface float defines a second connection point at a proximal end of the second surface float. And during the towing of the first and second source sub-arrays, the method may include maintaining a lateral separation between the first and second connection points of the first and second surface floats by a first strut, the first strut coupled between the first connection point of the first surface float and the second connection point of the second surface float.
