CABLED OBS APPLICATIONS
- Real-time data streaming
- Cable to shore or cable to buoy systems
- Local, regional and teleseismic monitoring
- Earthquake/Tsunami Early Warning
- Volcanic monitoring
A real-time cabled OBS that sits fully or partially buried on the seafloor for depths of up to to 6000 m/19,685 ft.
- Cable-to-shore or cable-to-buoy system
- Dual sensors: 3T broadband seismometer and Fortis accelerometer provide simultaneous monitoring of both weak signals and high intensity shaking in a single system
- Optional add-on sensors include absolute pressure sensor, hydrophone, current meter and thermometer
- Aluminium or titanium housing for corrosion resistance and waterproofing
- Optional concrete dome to reduce noise and protect against fishing trawlers
- Data digitised at site with real-time streaming to onshore data centre
- Digitizer timing synchronised with NTP or PTP protocols.
- External sensors with Ethernet can use the same timing protocols
- Flexibility to connect with a wide range of cable systems e.g. Ethernet or optic fibre
- Constant power supply plus back-up battery
- Deployment via winch with ROV support required for deeper installations
- Robust self-levelling system
