OCEAN BOTTOM SEISMOMETERS (OBS)

Güralp Systems Ltd (Güralp Systems)

Aquarius is a stand-alone free fall OBS with acoustic data telemetry for deployments at depths of up to 6000m for up to 18 months duration.The system is available in two variants depending on the application and required timescales between battery charge.Aquarius - for seismic research, when data transfer is needed only at the installation and at the recovery of the OBSAquarius+ - for seismic research and alert, when data transfer is required either on trigger, or on demand at any point during the deployment windowBoth systems are equipped with a digital feedback tri-axial broadband seismometer, operational at any angle and with a configurable long-period corner. A three-axis magnetometer and a MEMS accelerometer record the seismometer’s 3D position on the seabed for data rotation during post-processing.
