High Arctic Acoustic Thermometry Soundscape (HiAATS)

Abstract

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI, P.I. John Kemp) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography (P.I. Matt Dzieciuch) proposes to conduct the High Arctic Acoustic Thermometry Soundscape (HiAATS) experiment, a joint U.S.-Norwegian acoustic propagation experiment in the Amundsen and Nansen basins. Our Norwegian partner is the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) in Bergen,led by Hanne Sagen. The HiAATS experiment would take advantage of HiAOOS, the High Arctic Ocean Observation System program, a Horizon Europe funded EU project, that would provide access to the Arctic on a Norwegian Coast Guard icebreaker, the K/V Svalbard. NERSC will also provide substantial oceanographic instrumentation.WHOI will design and fabricate the four moorings for the HiAATS experiment. Funds are budgeted for purchasing materials and supplies necessary to build the moorings and costs to participate in a planningmeeting, deployment, and recovery cruises.
