PALAOA


Providing an acoustic live stream of the Antarctic underwater soundscape...more than 15000 km lie between Antarctica and AWI. Underwater sound is recorded by two hydrophones at PALAOA, an autonomous, wind and solar powered observatory located on the Ekström ice shelf. The data stream is transmitted via wireless LAN to the German Neumayer Base and then by satellite link to AWI in Germany.
