Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of an interactive web-based geospatial and acoustic visualization interface for the Atlantic Deepwater Ecosystem Observatory Network (ADEON) project. An array of hydrophones deployed along the U.S. Mid- and South Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf collected four years of acoustic measurements. The overwhelming size of the resulting datasets (over 73 terabytes) poses an accessibility problem for researchers and the public. A web-based visualization interface was developed to allow anyone to easily explore the massive datasets generated by the project in order to gain insight about the ecology and soundscape of the region.
