Line drawing of seafloor MT instrument. A 40 kg concrete anchor held beneath
the center of the package sinks the device to the seafloor. The anchor is
released by the acoustic unit on receipt of a command code, and the device
rises to the surface with the help of the glass flotation spheres. The electric
dipole arms are 5~m lengths of 5~cm diameter polypropylene pipes terminated
with silver-silver chloride electrodes. Dipole cables run along the insides
of the tubing.
