ABSTRACT:
A hydrophone array to perform passive and active sound imaging is described. The array is comprised of a plurality of acoustic transducers attached to a cable that may be towed behind a geophysical survey vessel. The cable and acoustic transducers are enclosed within a sheath of essentially constant external dimensions, which extends longitudinally the length of the cable and which is effective in minimizing turbulent noise created by the array during its use. The sheath may be circular or elliptical in cross-section and can enclose a jacket of resiliently flexible and positively buoyant material that encases the cable and transducers.
