Exciting developments in weak- and strong-motion ocean bottom seismometry are in the pipeline, which have the potential to place OBS instruments in the standard repertoire for scientists worldwide.
The compact and self-contained CMG-40TOBS instrument is already provoking a new wave of interest in ocean bottom seismic systems, with over 100 instruments in production.
Now, as a complement to our range of innovative levelling mechanisms and housings, Güralp Systems is set to announce the first complete seismic station in an autonomous OBS package.
With weak- and strong-motion sensors and sensor electronics integrated in the same housing, the 250 mm diameter instrument will provide scientists with an unprecedented range of observations from the ocean floor.
A larger sphere can be used which includes space for an integrated digitizer with automatic deployment capabilities and precision real-time clock module. Both housing types feature our unique ±30 ° levelling gimbal.
