P.I. - OrcuttProposal - 0236557Development of the MERMAID float: an autonomous vehicle for recording regional earthquakes within the world oceansPROJECT SUMMARYThe PIs propose to test whether untethered floats can record arrivals of teleseismic P waves while drifting at depths of 1-2 km. Specifically, they propose to construct a prototype float for recording earthquakes within the oceans. They have named this float MERMAID (Mobile Earthquake Recorder in Marine Areas by Independent Divers). If the proposed pilot project is successful, it will opens up the possibility of using existing monitoring efforts to fill in the large gaps in global teleseismic coverage posed within the ocean basins, and will significantly enhance our ability to image the deeper regions of the Earth through tomographic inversions

项目概述项目概要项目建议测试不系绳的浮标是否可以在1-2公里的深度漂流时记录远震P波的到达。具体来说，他们建议建造一个用于记录海洋地震的原型浮标。他们将这个浮标命名为MERMAID（独立潜水员在海洋地区的移动地震记录仪）。如果拟议的试点项目取得成功，它将开启利用现有监测工作来填补海洋盆地内全球远震覆盖的巨大空白的可能性，并将大大提高我们通过层析反演对地球深层区域成像的能力
