Abstract
A seismic data acquisition system for use in shallow water covered areas comprises a flotation device which serves also to house the electronic components; anchoring device with mechanical filter device to protect the anchor, so as to insure its maintaining its position; seismic sensor device for detecting seismic waves in the water and converting them to electrical signals; radio receiver device for receiving operational control instructions; and device for amplifying, digitizing and storing the electrical signals provided by the sensor, preferably on a removable tape recording device.
