Marine shear-wave detection system using single mode reflection boundary conversion technique

A hydrostreamer includes connectors for joining to depending housings enclosing geophone sensors. These sensors are coupled to the bottom of the sea via such housings by the housings being appropriately weighted and externally surface serrated. Thus, the geophones detect s-waves directly from the gr...

Zusammenfassung:	A hydrostreamer includes connectors for joining to depending housings enclosing geophone sensors. These sensors are coupled to the bottom of the sea via such housings by the housings being appropriately weighted and externally surface serrated. Thus, the geophones detect s-waves directly from the ground in single-mode conversion fashion while simultaneously, hydrophones in the hydrostreamers detect p-wave reflections in traditional fashion.
