Hydrophone 1
Hydrophone 1 :
(n). Geophysics. A device designed for use in detecting seismic energy in the form ofpressure changes under water during marine seismic acquisition. Hydrophones are combined to form streamers that are towed by seismic vessels or deployed in a borehole. Geophones, unlike hydrophones, detect motion rather than pressure.
