Abstract:
Sensors used in mapping strata beneath a marine body are described, such as in a flexible neutrally buoyant towed array. A first sensor is a motion sensor including a conductive liquid in a chamber between a rigid tube and a piezoelectric motion film circumferentially wrapped about the tube. The liquid transfer signal from a gravitational bottom of the sensor while rejecting water body surface reflected noise. A second sensor is a traditional acoustic sensor or a novel acoustic sensor using a piezoelectric sensor mounted with a thin film separation layer of flexible microspheres on a rigid substrate. Combinations of motion sensors and acoustic sensors co-located in a rigid streamer housing sections are provided.
