This map shows the location
of the submarine cable off the central California
coast that was being used for the Sound in
the Sea Acoustic Monitoring Project. This
cable stretched approximately 100 km, from
Pillar Point Air Force Station to the underwater
seamount known as Pioneer Seamount. A passive
underwater hydrophone was installed on
the seaward end of the cable. Data on recorded
sounds was relayed via the cable for processing
at a station on land. |
