Kansellering av stöy i fluidfylt seismisk kabel

During towing through the water, seismic streamers can be exposed to vibrations which lead to the formation of peristaltic wave modes in the streamer skin (3) and the streamer fluid filling (6). These peristaltic wave modes in the fluid filling can cause pressure fluctuations which are detected in the form of noise overlying the recorded signal from a hydrophone (2). A transfer function is derived for the transfer of the vibration effects to a noise signal in the hydrophone (2). The transfer function is used for processing of the recorded signal from the hydrophone or hydrophone group in a section (1) of the seismic streamer in order to cancel the noise which overlies the recorded signal. The effect of noise due to peristaltic waves (7) in the streamer skin (3) and the streamer's fluid filling (6) is thus removed from the hydrophone signal.
