SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COLLECTING SEISMIC DATA Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G01V1/38 

FIELD: seismology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to seismology and can be used for geophysical survey of sea water areas. Seismic data collection system contains multiple seismic buoys, intended for receiving and recording seismic signals while being in water, first vessel with a source of seismic signals excitement intended for support of multiple seismic buoys and lowering of them on water on the heading of ship movement, seismic cable, towed by the first vessel, and the second vessel intended for lifting seismic buoys from water upon completion of seismic signals recording program by them. At least one seismic buoy comprises the first housing with at least by one first seismic sensor accommodated inside, a float, fixed on the first case, and the second housing suspended to the first housing on the cable of given length, with at least one the second seismic sensor accommodated inside.
