Seismic Acquisition System (GeoEel) - Search for deployments and/or events
Description
The seismic acquisition system is used to acquire seismic reflection information of the seafloor. The system has a
500 m long, 40-channel, GeoEel streamer with 12.5 m group spacing towed at 4kts. Sercel GI-Source 210 seismic
air impulse sources are used. Use of the seismic system triggers additional technical resources in permitting,
personnel (MNF support and Marine Mammal Observers supplied by the science party), time and logistics. Seismic
acquisition operations can only be undertaken during daylight hours.
Purpose
Seismic system used to conduct seismic surveys of the ocean floor. 2 seismic compressors located under the back deck are part of this system.
