Abstract :
In seafloor seismic observation, the seismometer is usually installed in the seafloor. The data obtained from the seismometer installed in the seafloor is influenced by background noise. In seafloor observation, it is necessary to install seismometer with consideration of influence from installation environment for observation with high accuracy. This paper introduces the past results from seafloor seismic observation in several installation environments and a new approach to conduct high quality seismic observation in the seafloor.
