  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-001920",
  "term": "Hydrophone",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A transducer that converts underwater acoustic pressure waves into electrical signals. In marine seismic acquisition, arrays of hydrophones are housed within long cables called streamers, which are towed behind a survey vessel to record reflected seismic energy. These devices are sensitive to compressional waves (P-waves), whereas geophones, used on land or the seabed, measure particle velocity.",
