Because the independent and high-precision time reference sources on land cannot be used on the seafloor, especially in the deep sea, a relative time synchronization method based on input\/output (I\/O) and controller area network (CAN) bus was proposed to realize the internal time synchronization of the system. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, tests including the deformation test of the MEMS sensor array under high pressure, synchronous accuracy test, and landslide and collapse simulation tests were carried out. The synchronization method was performed once every 24 h, and the time drift was reduced to 0.38 ms from more than 30 ms, demonstrating that method can achieve consistent internal time of the system. The method does not require additional hardware devices and has adjustable accuracy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19194319","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,7]],"date-time":"2019-10-07T03:34:01Z","timestamp":1570419241000},"page":"4319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Experimental Research on Data Synchronous Acquisition Method of Subsidence Monitoring in Submarine Gas Hydrate Mining Area"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6351-0062","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiawang","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Zhoushan 316021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1579-3755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chen","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Zhoushan 316021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7045-6711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongqiang","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Zhoushan 316021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huangchao","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Zhoushan 316021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8699-8291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunying","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Zhoushan 316021, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Sheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey, Guangzhou 510075, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lieyu","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey, Guangzhou 510075, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanquan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey, Guangzhou 510075, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.1016\/j.marpetgeo.2010.02.007","article-title":"Gas geochemistry of the mount elbert gas hydrate stratigraphic test well, alaska north slope: Implications for gas hydrate exploration in the Arctic","volume":"28","author":"Lorenson","year":"2011","journal-title":"Mar.
