1. A marine seismic streamer, comprising:

  • a plurality of particle motion sensor arrays disposed along the streamer at longitudinally spaced apart positions, each particle motion sensor array including a plurality of particle motion sensors disposed at spaced apart locations along the streamer, outputs of the particle motion sensors coupled to form an array, a spacing between each adjacent particle motion sensor and a signal weight of each particle motion sensor in a particle motion sensor array being individually selected to attenuate noise in a selected mode of propagation and within a selected wavenumber range wherein at least one particle motion sensor has a weight or spacing different from another particle motion sensor in the array.
