Abstract
Geophysical survey systems and methods. At least some of the example embodiments are systems including: a tow vessel with an onboard data acquisition system; a sensor streamer that defines a proximal end and a distal end, the sensor streamer extends behind the tow vessel, and the sensor streamer submerged in the body of water; a lead-in cable coupled on a first end to the tow vessel, and coupled on a second end to the sensor streamer; a lead vessel associated with the sensor streamer, the lead vessel floating at or near the surface of the body of water, and the lead vessel coupled to the sensor streamer by a tow cable; and a seismic source in the water behind the lead vessel, the seismic source coupled to the lead vessel by a source cable that extends from the lead vessel to the seismic source.
