This animation depicts how ocean sound data
were being brought to you via the Internet
in near-real time. As sound waves were
emitted, they traveled through the SOFAR
channel to the hydrophone array deployed
on Pioneer Seamount, 40 miles off the coast
of Central California. The array captured
the data and transmitted it through the
underwater submarine cable to shore. After
being compressed into an audible format
at the NOAA facility in Newport, Oregon,
the data was made available online for
the public and researchers.
