“…While some are still under development or in ballot, 1451.1,1451.2 , 1451.4 are now approved. We hereby give an overview of their scope with a focus on a single hydrophone: at sensor level, a Transducer Electronic Datasheets (TEDS, described in IEEE 1451.4) can be physically embedded and encapsulated with the sensor or encoded in a parallel hardware companion (such as or similar to the fixed ocean observatory-dedicated PUCK [9]). A hydrophone TEDS could as a minimum hold information on the deployment latitude, longitude and depth, last calibration date, a unique identifier, its analog bandwidth and acoustic sensitivity, dynamic range, uncertainty and sampling period.…”

The rise of deep-sea observatories across the planet (e.g. NEPTUNE, ESONET/EMSO, MARS, VENUS, DONET) offers an unprecedented opportunity to view ocean acoustic and marine mammal monitoring from a global perspective. It is expected that these observatories will be equipped with hydrophone arrays that will enable real-time acquisition of acoustic data, the amount of which will inevitably accelerate the need for efficient algorithms to reduce the time-bandwidth product to be broadcast over the internet. Though it is expected that the on-going research in acoustic pattern recognition will probably meet the milestone, a major issue remains to make these data computer-usable on a global scale. In order to enhance the potential of marine mammal passive monitoring tools it is therefore necessary that the hosted acoustic monitoring platforms be interoperable, i.e. sensors be discoverable from the internet, data catalogues and sensor metadata be accessible in standard format. Sensor-web enablement (OGC) currently offers an integrated solution through a set of recently approved standards. How these standards may be applicable to the task of interest is discussed and as a result, a global framework and architecture for marine mammal monitoring is presented from the perspective of a globally distributed acoustic monitoring network.

“…Observations may not even be points in space and time: Satellites and landbased High Frequency Radar systems are capable of measuring wave height and surface velocity over a wide area simultaneously. Measurements are in this case reported as a "grid" of data, a data structure that carries a challenging set of requirements in its own right [8]. The diversity of platforms leads to a diversity in requirements: even a "lowest common denominator" data model must thus be rather sophisticated.…”

“…One solution developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Research Institute is the PUCK [8], a programmable hardware device inserted between the sensor and the acquisition computer that fills in missing metadata (instrument information, time, location, etc.). We consider the PUCK to be an excellent use of the appliance model, where capabilities are deployed in a self-contained hardware and software package for simplified installation.…”

“…In contrast to point observations, model results of nontrivial scope cannot be effectively managed in a relational database due to their size and use of mesh-oriented data structures and algorithms [8]. We therefore use two strategies to provide programmatic interfaces to our model results.…”

“…Our progress with this approach has been accelerated by the gridfield algebra [8], a language for manipulating simulation results as first class citizens, without regard to their internal structure. Using gridfields as a subsystem, model results can be efficiently broken up on the server, selectively and incrementally delivered to the vessel, and then reassembled as needed.…”

The Ocean Appliance: Complete Platform Provisioning for Low-Cost Data Sharing

Abstract-We report on our progress towards an Ocean Appliance -envisioned as a complete, pre-built "server-in-abox" equipped with an ocean observation database, a forecast engine, a web server publishing an extensible web interface, a suite of web services establishing interoperability, and a library of data ingest and processing functions. Collectively, these services allow efficient ingest, organization, analysis, and distribution of observations and model results with minimal onsite configuration. By packaging the hardware as well as the software, the effort required to install and adapt the tools to the environment of the local data provider is minimized, streamlining the adoption of interoperability standards and simplifying environmental data management. We report results from a pilot project using the appliance to support cruise operations and describe preparations for an upcoming multi-ship experiment involving real-time telemetry and coordinated, simultaneous analysis of forecasts and observations.

Abstract. The rapid development of ocean observatories results in a great challenge to integrate so many sensors into one system. Some solutions have been proposed to address this issue, such as MBARI PUCK, IEEE 1451 and OGC SWE. This paper proposes a novel smart sensor interface module solution which is more capable than PUCK. As the interface standardization is achieved at the instrument-side in our solution, the design of ocean observatory systems is simplified. What's more, the feature of distributed intelligence of the module can benefit many in-situ applications of ocean observatories.
