Abstract:
Provided is a permanent seafloor seismic recording system utilizing Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems seismic sensors. The system includes and expandable backbone, multiple hubs and sensor lines. The sensor lines include multiple sensor modules that include 3-C accelerometers and a hydrophone for providing a 4-C sensor module output signal.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus of acquiring and processing seismic data. One or more controllers (200) are each coupled to seismic sensors (110a-d) to form a line of data acquisition units (106a-d). A main controller (102) is coupled to a crossover line unit (104) and to a power supply. Power and data control is distributed among the main controller (102), the crossover line controller (104) and each of the plurality of data acquition units (106a-d).
