چکیده
During the past decades, Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) have played a key role in permanent seismic activity monitoring at sea as well as allowing a better understating of the earth interior. Data collected by the instrument can provide information on the ocean bottom sub-layers down to a depth of 40 km beneath the ocean floor. The accuracy of the results directly depends on the temperature stability of the crystal used as the main time base of the equipment. This paper presents the study of temperature stability of a Seascan module in real environmental conditions. By means of a climate chamber, temperature tests of a Seascan module were carried out and crystal temperature stability was calculated.

متن کاملDetermining the orientations of ocean bottom seismometers using ambient noise correlation
[1] The cross-correlation of multicomponent ambient seismic noise can reveal both the velocity and polarization of surface waves propagating between pairs of stations. We explore this property to develop a novel method for determining the horizontal orientation of ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) by analyzing the polarization of Rayleigh waves retrieved from ambient noise crosscorrelation. We de...
متن کاملOcean Bottom Seismometer: Design and Test of a Measurement System for Marine Seismology
The Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) is a key instrument for the geophysical study of sea sub-bottom layers. At present, more reliable autonomous instruments capable of recording underwater for long periods of time and therefore handling large data storage are needed. This paper presents a new Ocean Bottom Seismometer designed to be used in long duration seismic surveys. Power consumption and noi...
متن کاملWireless-based Ocean-bottom Seismographic Observation System
Recent seismic activity, possible induced, in the Gulf of Valencia or the intense underwater seismic activity associated with the eruption of El Hierro (2011-2012) shows the importance of controlling the seismicity located in the sea that is not covered by the terrestrial monitoring networks. To overcome this problem, this work propose the development of a “Wireless-based” Ocean-bottom Seismogr...
متن کامل14: An Investigation of Fin and Blue Whales in the NE Pacific Ocean using Data from Cascadia Initiative Ocean Bottom Seismometers
Within the seismological community, long-term networks of ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) are being deployed increasingly for a year or more to monitor earthquakes. These geophysical studies are motivated by the goals of understanding both plate tectonics and the hazards from subduction zones. However, because OBSs typically record signals up to frequencies of ~25 Hz or higher, they also provi...
