The seismic instruments onboard R/V Ocean Researcher One of the National Taiwan University was first installed in 1984. Over the years, these instruments were upgraded several times. Here we report the improved data quality due to the new instruments and in-house data logging system, particularly the marine seismic streamers. We have repeated a seismic survey using both the old and new streamers with identical sources, and found dramatic improvement of the data quality collected by the new system. The recent acquired solid-state streamer and the newly setup of data logging system provide a very cost efficient way to improve marine seismic exploration surveys.
