This document provides guidance for the addition of acoustic observations to the Global Ocean Observing
System (GOOS) through implementation of the Ocean Sound Essential Ocean Variable (EOV). The goal of
this Ocean Sound EOV Implementation Plan is to define a baseline of how ocean sound observations are
collected, analyzed, managed and reported.
1 Why is sound an important variable for observing the ocean at a global
scale?
Of all the ways to transmit energy or information through the ocean, sound reaches the farthest. Acoustic
sensors are the only ones for which a network of only a dozen stations can detect high-intensity, lowfrequency
signals produced by events almost anywhere in the global ocean. Modern digital electronics
make it possible to produce small cost-effective ocean acoustic recording systems, which enable persistent
observations from a variety of platforms in all seasons and all ocean areas.
Ocean sound is a physical variable: variation in pressure or particle.....
