A method is disclosed for marine seismic surveying in which a seismic signal
is
detected in a body of water with a motion sensor and a pressure sensor positioned
at a location proximate the bottom of the body of water. Seismic signals are detected
with pressure sensors positioned in one or more streamer cables being towed in
the body of water near the location proximate the bottom of the water at which
a motion sensor and a pressure sensor are positioned. The signals detected by the
motion sensor and pressure sensor positioned proximate the bottom of the body of
water are used for calibrating the seismic signals detected with the pressure sensors
positioned in the streamer cables.
