Abstract

Variable depth multicomponent sensor streamer. At least some of example embodiments including perform a geophysical survey by: setting a first target depth for first depth positioning device of a sensor streamer, the first depth positioning device associated with a first sensor of the sensor streamer, the first sensor at a first offset, and the first target depth based on tension in the sensor streamer proximate the first sensor; setting a second target depth for a second depth positioning device of the sensor streamer, the second depth positioning device associated with a second sensor of the sensor streamer, the second sensor at a second offset greater than the first offset, the second target depth based on tension in the sensor streamer proximate the second sensor, and the second target depth greater than the first target depth; towing the sensor streamer through the water; and obtaining data from the sensors.
