Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In this contribution, we describe the seabed cabled observatory networks managed by Ocean Networks Canada (ONC). The focus is on the hydrophone hosting capabilities of ONC's advanced science infrastructure and on the assets already in place, together with their scientific objectives. We describe the data acquisition and archival principles and methods, as well as the derived products available to users. We also elaborate on the concerns of the United States and Canadian Navies with quasi real-time, public data and on the mitigation measures in place to balance security needs with the scientific and public safety goals of the instrumentation. Finally, we describe the potential for instrument development and testing that ONC offers on its networks.
