	abstract = {First part of this paper presents an Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS) designed and constructed for mid-term deployments in order to study the earth dynamics and internal structure. Many marine research institutes have developed such equipment, however there is no standard method for their characterization and calibration. The second part discusses the characterization tests based on the international standards carried out to present the specifications of the equipment built. Calibration of the constructed OBS is carried out through an oceanographic cruise using a widely used reference OBS. Data quality of the instruments is evaluated by direct inspection of the corresponding seismic record sections. {\textcopyright}2008 IEEE.},

	abstract = {WASPAR (Wide-Angle reflection-refraction Seismic data Processing And Representation) is a new free multi-platform software tool to process and display wide-angle seismic data. It has been designed to read different raw data formats, construct record sections, process them using existing and newly developed algorithms, pick seismic phases and generate graphic files using a single, user-friendly interface. The main characteristics of WASPAR are its flexibility and expandability. It has been designed in a modular way using a plug-in architecture to manage raw data access and processing functionalities. We thus obtain a stable base easily maintainable and expandable. We have chosen the C ++ programming language in combination with an object oriented methodology to facilitate the development of a multi-platform software tool, which is already available on Linux and MS Windows. In order to allow its expansion and upgrade, the program will be freely distributed under the terms of GPL license. The philosophy of this software tool is to leave it open to external contributions. {\textcopyright} 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {The OBS (Ocean Bottom Seismoemter) has been a key instrument for geophysical study of sea sub-bottom layers in the last decades. Now scientists are demanding highly relaible autonomous equipment capable of staying underwater for long periods of time and therefore handling large data storage. Power consumption of the acquisition system as well as a stable time base with temperature are the main issues in order to achieve high autonomy together with a good data quality. This paper presents a new Ocean Bottom Seismometer designed to be used in marine mid-term surveys. To achieve our goals, a new low power datalogger with high resolution and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) based on Compactflash memory card is designed to enable continous data acquisition. The equipment has been evaluated in real environmental conditions during a test cruise in 2006. {\textcopyright} 2008 IEEE.},
