Abstract
A vertical hydrophone cable includes a support cable, a plurality of hydrophones, and an equal number of delay elements which are tuned to provide synchronization between the seismic and electrical signals. A number of such vertical hydrophone cables are provided. In operation, the vertical array provides a method of seismic exploration comprising the steps of deploying the plurality of vertical hydrophone cables with the integral delay elements, generating a seismic signal, and receiving reflected return signals at the plurality of hydrophones with synchronism between the electrical and sound signals, so that the vertical cable functions in the manner of a traveling wave antenna.
