At present, there are no PAM metadata from gliders in the IQOE metadatabase of PAM observations (see map at Acoustic Capabilities of Existing Observing Systems | International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE)). We would like the glider community’s help to remedy this omission. In addition, IQOE will begin a new phase in 2026 that will be designed to focus on implementation of the Ocean Sound Essential Ocean Variable by bringing together the communities that are using different platforms for PAM. Please see this very short survey if you are a glider operator and would like to contribute to this effort.
