Fidelity, Coherence, and Noise of Ocean Bottom Seismographs and Hydrophones.
Abstract
This research investigated the mechanical coupling between an Ocean bottom seismographs and the ocean floor for both vertical and horizontal motion and the hydrodynamic coupling between an OBS and the near bottom water, both at seismic amplitudes and frequencies and at those associated with near bottom currents. Criteria for optimum design of OBS were developed based upon both theoretical and experimental information. Current status of OBS design was summarized and evaluated.
