ABSTRACT:
A system for supporting marine seismic equipment such as sensors and positioning equipment deployed behind a marine seismic vessel. The vessel tows a lattice like web instead of individual streamer cables to carry hydrophones, and can deploy a geophone supporting web from the vessel to rest on the sea floor. The web can be formed with individual conductor members for providing structural support and signal transmission capabilities. The lattice construction of the web provides for redundant signal transmission capabilities in the event of individual conductor failure. The web provides this enhanced signal transmission capability while permitting high density sensor placement.
