Abstract:
Included are methods and apparatus for marine geophysical surveying. One embodiment of the presently-disclosed solution relates to a method for instantaneous roll compensation of vectorised motion data originating from a fixed-mount geophysical sensor during a marine seismic survey. A streamer is towed behind a survey vessel in a body of water. The streamer includes a plurality of geophysical sensors and a plurality of orientation sensor packages. Vectorised geophysical data is acquired using the plurality of geophysical sensors, while orientation data is acquired by the plurality of orientation sensor packages. The orientation data is used to determine an instantaneous roll angle of the streamer at different positions on the streamer. The vectorised geophysical data is adjusted to compensate for the instantaneous roll angle of the streamer at different positions on the streamer. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.
