	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.},
