UNDERWATER STATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01V11/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: underwater station includes an emerging module (1) of measuring equipment, an anchor device (2) and positive buoyancy (5) in the form of a buoy. The positive buoyancy (5) is fitted with a beacon (19). The emerging module (1) of the measuring equipment is connected to the anchor device (2) through a releasing device (3). The lower part of the emerging module (1) of the measuring equipment is placed inside a girder (6) which is linked to the releasing device (3). The inner surface of the girder (6) is fitted with two mechanical cantilevers (8), which are fitted with three-component digital seismographs (9) and a hydrophone (12). The emerging module (1) of the measuring equipment and the anchor device (2) are made of prepolymers, the girder (6) is made of high-strength plastic and the positive buoyancy (5) is made of plastic with hollow microspheres. The emerging module (1) of the measuring equipment includes a hydroacoustic transceiver (13), a GPS receiver (14), accumulators (16), an accelerometer (38), seismic receiver sensors, an acoustic Doppler flow meter, a constant magnetic field magnetometer, a gamma spectrometer, as well as a probe for measuring electroconductivity, sea water temperature, pressure and sound speed.

EFFECT: high reliability of the underwater station.
