Abstract
Storage and installation systems used in storage, deployment or retrieval of a seismic cable array include one or more baskets adapted for being stacked. Each basket is dimensioned to allocate, in an ordered arrangement, a number of seismic stations interconnected by sections of seismic cable. Corresponding methods of storing a seismic cable and deploying/retrieving a seismic cable are based on the use of baskets having an ordered arrangement of seismic stations.
