| Abstract: | A three-component pop-up ocean-bottom seismograph was built at the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences in 1978. It is constructed around a buoyant 71 cm diam aluminium alloy forged sphere which contains three 4.5 Hz orthogonal geophones and an external hydrophone. The instrument will record continuously in analogue mode for over eight days using a modified reel-to-reel tape-recorder running at 1.5 mm s-1. The geophones have a bandwidth of 2–25 Hz and the hydrophone bandwidth is 5–40 Hz. Ballast release is by pre-set clock or by acoustic command.Fifty-four deployments have been carried out in five cruises for the loss of only one instrument. Good recordings of dropped weights, airguns, explosions and earthquakes have been obtained. |
