adaptive speed regulation noise suppression of towed marine geophysical streamer

摘要

noise suppression by adaptive speed regulation of towed marine geophysical streamer. One method of towing marine geophysical sensor streamers into a body of water includes moving a towing vessel (10) at a selected speed along the surface of the body of water. At least one geophysical sensor streamer (20) is towed by the vessel at a selected depth of water. A streamer velocity in water is measured at least one position along the streamer. The selected speed of the towing vessel (10) is adjusted if the measured speed exceeds a selected limit.
