ABSTRACT:
A seismic sensor platform comprises an open frame and a plurality of seismic motion sensors vertically positioned in a common horizontal plane in spaced relationship around the periphery of the open frame. A spike associated with each of the sensors extends beneath the open frame for anchoring each of the sensors in the earth. The frame includes a shield for protecting the sensors from physical damage and for shielding them from seismic noise. Second and third pluralities of horizontally positioned sensors may be provided on the frame, orthogonally positioned with respect to each other to sense orthogonal components of reflected seismic waves. The sensors may each be of a different natural frequency to optimize the multifrequency output of the sensor array.
