PAM Sensors

Glider platforms can support one or more options for PAM sensors. Technology is rapidly developing, and we will be testing the following PAM Sensors:

WISPR

WISPR (Wideband Intelligent Signal Processor and Recorder) is an acoustic processor developed by Embedded Ocean Systems and designed for limited space and low power, with options for customized applications. WISPR are currently used on Seagliders, and integration for Slocum gliders is under development.

DMON

The Digital MONitor (DMON) was developed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and have been integrated on Slocum gliders and have been used with Seagliders. The current iteration of DMON has limited capacity for high frequency recording, but expansion of this capacity to improve storage capacity is under development.

Auris

The Auris acoustic processing system is a proprietary system developed for the Alseamar SeaExplorer glider.
