过去十年中,由于对地震船上所用技术作了大量改进导致海上数据采集系统发生了根本性的变革。七十年代末期,进展速度特别快,今后十年可望取得更大成就。七十年代最主要的进展之一是船上采用了计算机系统,该系统提供高度先进的技术,革除了早先地震队必须完成的许多工作。自动控制全部地震作业的船载小型计算机系统也已很普遍了。这些革新装置容许用户选择测线座标和基本采集参数,然后引导地震船自动航行到施工地震测线上,开始引爆地震震源,以及采集和记录数据。随着这些计算机的应用新增了许多系统和传感 Over the past decade, fundamental changes have taken place in maritime data collection systems due to the significant improvements in the technology used on seismic ships. In the late seventies, the pace of progress was particularly rapid and more could be expected in the next ten years. One of the most significant developments of the 1970s was the use of a computer system on board that provided highly advanced technology that would have taken away much of the work that previous seismic teams had to do. On-board small computer systems that automatically control all seismic operations are also commonplace. These innovative devices allow users to select the survey coordinates and basic acquisition parameters, and then guide the seismic vessel to navigate automatically to the seismic line of construction, begin detonating the earthquake source, and collect and record data. Many systems and sensors have been added with the use of these computers
