以尤因和瓦因(Ewing and Vine,1938)的研究工作为开始,在海底安置地震仪已近45年了。目前使用海底地震仪来测量地震和爆炸信号构成了对地震学研究的一种重要研究方法。全世界大约有20个这类研究小组,他们活动在法国、西德、日本、加拿大和美国。海底地震 Beginning with the research work of Ewing and Vine (1938), seismographs have been placed on the seabed for nearly 45 years. The current use of seabed seismometers to measure earthquakes and explosions signals constitutes an important research approach to seismology. There are about 20 such research groups in the world, with activities in France, West Germany, Japan, Canada and the United States. Underwater earthquake
