The recording of seismic signals at the bottom of water areas is in most cases accompanied by intense noise, whose sources are near-bottom currents. An effective way has still not been found to combat this phenomenon, which significantly impedes the development of a marine seismological network. The main problems are that such interference is generated both on equipment elements, which, according to the operating conditions, should be on the bottom surface, and on the unevenness of the bottom surface. In this study, a number of mechanisms for exciting such interference are considered, including due to the direct impact of stationary and nonstationary flows on the sensitive elements of bottom seismographs and due to the generation of seismoacoustic fields in the aquatic environment during vortex and turbulent flows. The results of recording seismic signals on the bottom, in the sediment layer, and in the bottom borehole in the presence of intense noise from currents are compared. A number of practical recommendations are given to significantly reduce the impact of such noise.
